I think 3 pages would be a bit long for this thread.

GC §411.205. REQUIREMENT TO DISPLAY LICENSE. (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.
Now, had you gotten in trouble with the officer for not showing your CHL, there is no longer a penalty if you fail to show it. However, it is still the law that you must produce it.
That clears that up for me as well, thanks.
Same here. I always hand it to them with my DL, but misunderstood the law. Thanks for the clarification.

I don't understand how such a simple question could result in a 3 page thread. :headscratch
I don't know how it could get to 3 pages either. :evil2:
Do you fellers really think it will get to three pages?

I would show it even when not armed cause once they run your DL it will show that you have a CHL anyway.
