New to the Texas forum but not "new": It's my understanding that one can have a firearm in their vehicle, without permit, as long as it's concealed [please correct me if I'm wrong]: must one disclose, as part of the permit process, that they have a CHL when pulled over?
Correct. Without a license, you can have a "concealed" weapon in your vehicle so long as you're not a prohibited possessor, in the process of committing a crime, or a member of a criminal gang. If you do have a license and get pulled over, yes you should give the LEO your license along with driver's license and make clear to him/her you are carrying. If it's at night, turn on the overhead dome light so the officer knows you are likely a carrier.
