Show CHL to LEO if you are a Passenger in Car

Post by marksiwel »

If my wife is driving, do I have to show my CHL if armed as a passenger of the vehicle?

Only if he asks you for ID.

There isn't any legal requirement in Texas for a passenger to show ID. Unless he's placing you under arrest, you have no obligation to identify yourself at all (and even that can just be a verbal statement; there's no requirement to carry ID unless you're a CHL carrying concealed).
