Got pulled over recently by DPS. As soon as I stopped I started to take my seatbelt off so I could get my wallet out and get both DL & LTC to show him. As I was putting them in my left hand to hold out the window I spotted the officer in my mirror watching me through the mirror with a very worried look on his face. I immediately realized he had seen me fumbling around my waist and I froze, and put both hands on the steering wheel.

My advice, don't reach for any documents until he asks for them. This officer was walking up on the left side of my vehicle before I had time to retrieve anything. If I get stopped again, I will roll the windows down, put both hands on the wheel, and wait for instructions.
