Good advise. I would add; if you have a CHL voluntarily show it along with your DL and if carrying a gun, either on your body or somewhere in your vehicle, inform the cop that you have a gun and also volunteer where it is located. However, always keep both hands on the wheel and do NOT attempt to show the gun. Although in texas (I live in Texas - God Bless Texas) if you’re a CHL holder you’re not required to show your CHL even if packing unless asked Besides, the Cop already knows this before he/she walks up to your vehicle as its in your DB which he/she more than likely pulled up before coming to your car. And, usually you will be thanked for volunteering the info. Shows you’re one of the good guys and puts the cop at ease.

Do they have mind reading cops there in Texas? How does the cop know who you are BEFORE coming to the car? Interesting........
