To be exempt from 46.02 one must carry the CHL;

46.15


(b) Section 46.02 does not apply to a person who:

(6) is carrying a concealed handgun and a valid license
issued under Article 4413(29ee), Revised Statutes, to carry a
concealed handgun of the same category as the handgun the person is
carrying;



SeamusTX posted the law that can get you suspended if you fail to present your CHL when asked to ID yourself by a Peace Officer or judge. It is NOT an arrestable offense unless you have been once suspended for failing to display.

No culpability is listed; therefore, intent, knowledge, or recklessness are all sufficient.
