CHL as License?

[quicksaveme]

I can't remember from class, but it is ok to use our CHL as our TDL? For instance, if we get pulled over for a speeding ticket, or if we are asked for ID for any reason is it valid to show only or Texas CHL and not our Texas Drivers License? I don't want to carry around both in my small money clip, but if it isn't ok then I have no choice

Thanks guys

You can be cited or even arrested for driving without your Driver License in your possession.

texas Government Code
§ 411.205. DISPLAYING LICENSE; PENALTY. (a) 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. A person who fails or refuses to display
the license and identification as required by this subsection is
subject to suspension of the person's license as provided by
Section 411.187.
(b) A person commits an offense if the person fails or
refuses to display the license and identification as required by
Subsection (a) after previously having had the person's license
suspended for a violation of that subsection. An offense under this
subsection is a Class B misdemeanor.

Thank you sir. As I was reading that I refreshed myself and realized I remembered hearing that from my father when he first received his CHL.

Thank you again for clearing it up.
