I guess you would be asked by your employer to sign a waiver to access that information. It is not currently necessary, but that won't be the case when the confidentiality bill passes.
If you sign it, they find out.
If you refuse, they suspect and become even more annoying.
Either way, you smash your hand with a hammer.
Anybody who doesn't carry won't know, nor care, about signing the form and will sign it just because.

So could he get fired and then bring suit due to their illegal practices? (assuming this is the case)

My guess is they performed the check before you ever signed anything. They don't need your permission to write to the DPS and inquire about you, just like I don't. They only need your name. The form you signed is probably some paranoid legal thing that they feel they have to do.
Sorry your cover has been blown, but at least you know they are somewhat tolerant of the idea of a CHL holder working there. You may one day be able to convince them that allowing carry at work is not such a bad thing. They certainly can't stop you from doing it now, unless given "proper notice", but you will probably have more scrutiny than your fellow employees. And, like TXI said, you will most likely be fired if they ever find out.
