This, still. Houston is no different as they nor any other municipality, county etc. can make any other law or ordinance.westex1948 wrote:GC §411.205. REQUIREMENT TO DISPLAY LICENSE. If a license holder is

certificate issued by the department and the license holder’s handgun license.
I Think that means you have to have DL or State issued ID along with CHL
And as someone else said, as of (3 years ago?) if you're carrying and asked for ID you must still present DL or other State ID, along with your CHL however not doing so no longer has any penalty. That change was shoved through in sunset legislation in '11 I think it was. If I recall, the idea was to level the playing field since drivers with no CHL are not compelled to disclose they have a handgun with them in the car (which is legal), yet CHL holders were by way of presenting both CHL and DL. In most cases it really shouldn't matter and in some, you may want to make sure an officer knows, but that's your call. It's still a requirement, but there is no penalty whatsoever.
