Presentation of license is still required, concealed or not.
If you are carrying a handgun on or about your person and are asked for ID, you have to produce the DL and CHL, regardless of whether or not you are carrying under the authority of your CHL. Stupid, but it is the law.... I mean, if you are open carrying on your own property, it's kind of obvious that you don't need to present a CHL to let them know you are carrying.

Sec. 411.205. DISPLAYING LICENSE; PENALTY. (a) If a license holder is carrying a handgun on or about the license holder's person when a magistrate or a peace officer demands that the license holder display identification, the license holder shall display both the license holder's driver's license or identification certificate issued by the department and the license holder's handgun license.
