Think about it. If you were driving and didn't have your DL. It doesn't mean you are not licensed.
Not having proof of insurance in your car doesn't mean you are not insured.

Re: "Failure to Carry" - CHL license.
Legally it's the same as not being licensed. The relevant law is in 46.15 Texas Penal Code.fortworthdude wrote:I have a CHL and 'carry' 99% of the time. Last week when I left the house I was carrying my weapon but later found I had forgotten to take my billfold with me. My CHL is in my billfold. What are the consequenses for not actually having my license on my person when carrying even though licensed to do so? Please advise.
In practice, if you're lucky the DA will cut you some slack. If you're really lucky the cop will cut you some slack.
