For #1 he's kinda sorta right. State law still requires that you present your CHL upon demand for ID while carrying, however there is no longer a punishment for failing to do so. So essentially you can neglect to show your CHL when you produce your ID without any kind of legal punishment, however you will be dealing with an annoyed peace office who will still determine how he treats you during the encounter.
Regarding #2 he's obviously confused Federal Law with the Texas Motorist Protection Act.
Regarding #3 I think he needs more (read better) training.

I agree.
As to how to correct him, I must say that I often come across this type of "editorializing" in all types of classes (actually, I do it too, and am only occasionally wrong ).
If I'm a student, I typically say in this kind of situation (when we're discussing information that is not actually part of that particular class), "Forgive me, but that's not the way I was taught in my CHL classes." I don't go any further. That statement clearly indicates to the group that there is further discussion/opinion to be had on that point, but lets the instructor get on with the class for which he/she is being paid. Plenty of time for argument later, after everyone has gotten their money's worth.
