This wasn't in Matagorda County was it? There's a DPS officer here that ask that whenever he pulls someone over with a CHL that not carrying.
How would one know that?

He stopped me fur speeding, I'm a mid 40yo bald Asian male, dressed in long sleeve button down, w my wife coming back from a cirque de soleil show, had 1 drink several hours earlier, driving a lightly tinted Mazda wagon, stock otherwise at ~ 10pm, 10 over, ticket was eventually dismissed (hired an atty). I work at an engineering firm, answer w yes sir no sir.
I believe if I had NOT presented my CHL , which I no longer have too, he would have conducted a normal stop, license- ins, ticket, go about my business.

Why don't you have to present your chl? Did the law change?
One still has to present when a Peace Officer or Magistrate demands you ID yourself.
There is no longer a penalty if you fail to.......
To be clear, that only applies when carrying on or about your person but not during *transport*.
The worse thing you can do is tell the Police Officer "I have a gun" during a traffic stop.
I don't mind handing them my licenses, but I get pissed when they hand 'em back all sticky.

I got pulled over by a DPS Trooper this weekend driving 74 in 55 zone. I wasn't carrying because had been in a 30.06 location earlier that day and hadn't planned to make a side trip. I presented my CHL anyway and informed him I wasn't carrying, he asked "Why not?". He clearly seemed to be pro CHL He also observed items in my car that indicated I was a Boy Scout Leader, we discussed his scouting experience. He was very professional, I was polite and I was let go with a warning think it all started with his positive attitude toward CHL and my respectful attitude toward him.
I've been stopped twice in the last year or so. Both times handed over my license and CHL, both times let the officer know that I had a pistol in the truck, but not on my person, both times let off with a warning. Probably not because of the CHL, but I do think it is better to be up front than to let them run your license, then come back asking if you are carrying, since your CHL status will show up once they put you in the computer.
