Have you asked lawyers and LEO what would happen if you lied about having a gun?
If you haven't asked this specific question, please ask it to MULTIPLE sources and have them point out where the LAW supports their answers.

The current state of the TX disclosure "law" is strange.
Laws are supposed to define something to be done (or not done) and then create a legal penalty for not doing (or doing) that thing.
Laws that don't do the latter are really only suggestions.
Originally, the law requiring disclosure had a penalty. At a later legislative session, that penalty was removed, but the body was left intact.
Thus, we are supposed to show a CHL when asked for ID, but there is no penalty for not doing so, so it is a suggestion at best.
The judge would look at the law and say, well you must disclose your CHL or I will sentence you to, hmmmm, well, have a nice day.
I would likely just show both, but have not needed to do so as I never drive like a maniac so my encounters with law enforcement are few and far between.
If an officer did ask if I was armed, I would certainly not lie about it.
