Although this is Texas statute, I see no specific that says you only have to show if carrying under a Texas CHL. While there is no penalty attached, I would not want to quibble with the LEO in performance of his duties.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.

Re: Yet another Utah CHL thread...
We should hunt up the specific wording on that. My memory (such as it is...) doesn't recall the verbage specifying that if you have a Texas CHL you have to present it. Just if you have a CHL. I will follow the laws of the state I am carrying in to the best of my ability, and if Texas requires that I display to the LEO my CHL, I will do so whether it is from Texas or not. Just my humble opinion, pending finding/posting the verbage of the statute.
In other words, if I were carrying under Utah permit, I would display when/if asked for identification by a Texas LEO. True, he may not be able to ascertain the fact I have a Utah permit when running my driver's license or whatever, but better safe than sorry. I realize there is no penalty now for failure to present, but it is a requirement.
Again, this is just my opinion. YMMV.

Re: Yet another Utah CHL thread...
This map may need updating, or I am reading it incorrectly. I believe Kansas and Texas share reciprocity. The below is from the TXDPS website:
"January 30, 2007 Kansas
Effective immediately, Governor Perry has issued a proclamation that allows persons with valid concealed handgun licenses from Kansas to carry in Texas. All Kansas license holders will be required to follow Texas law while carrying concealed in this state including age restrictions and type of weapon permitted. The Kansas Attorney General's office has determined that the Texas Concealed Handgun License Standards meet "the equal to or greater standard" for recognition. Therefore, Texas residents with valid Texas Concealed Handgun Licenses may carry concealed while traveling in Kansas and will be required to follow Kansas law while carrying concealed in that state.
PLEASE NOTE: Non-Resident Texas Concealed Handgun Licensee's WILL NOT be allowed to carry in Kansas"
Edit to add: I was looking at page one of this, and didn't see just how old this thread is......my bad.......
