Wasnt nitpicking. But I would hope someone would correct my mistakes, as a favor. Plus, that transposition changes the context of the sentence when read correctly. I, by no means, mean to offend.
The fact that you have notice that the information is missing is more than enough reason to give DPS a call. Information has already been posted that proves that the missing information is required to be on any CHL issued license.
You asked a question, and I don't think getting an attitude over AEA's suggestion that you contact DPS is good manners. You asked for opinions, AEA gave his opinion that the you should contact DPS because the license is invalid.
I am pretty sure that when you recieve your license that there is some sort of verbage that requires you to look over the license and make sure all the information is correct. There are probably instructions on what to do if anything is wrong with the license....like contact DPS.
Basically its your call, but I would not want to chance it.

First, that requirement appears to fall on the department. They issue the license.
Second, my previous CHL (before I notified DPS of my new address) did not have a driver license number. The space was blank and yet the license was perfectly valid.

In my original message, I said I would eventually contact DPS. I have called twice and they were closed. My objection was not to the suggestion that I call.
To the contrary, my objection was to opinions put forth as facts. For example, It was asserted (quite strongly) that I was in violation. However, I asked them to quote or cite the statute I supposedly violated and they have not yet done so. That seems to me an interesting omission. If they're correct, it shouldn't take more than 30 seconds to cut and paste the actual law.

How sure are you? No such instructions were to be found anywhere inside (nor outside) the envelope DPS mailed me. My license was attached to a blank piece of card stock with a window for name and address.
It is apparent that you have no intention of listening to the advice of others. You also have no intention of doing anything about this regardless of the advice you get. I don't understand why you even asked the question in the first place.
You feel you are not in violation and your CHL is Valid, others think you are in violation and your CHL may not be valid.
AEA has a valid point on why your license may not be valid. It us your responsibility to ensure all the information is present and correct on the license. It is clear that the DL / state id information needs to be on the license (Mine is).
Go ahead and take your chances, but don't come crying to us if things turn out bad for you.

There is no answer to your question other than having an LEO run YOUR DL. What has happened to other people is not relevant to your question. YOUR DL/CHL information is either in the DPS database or it isn't. If you really want to know, find an LEO to run your DL.
I am curious what the outcome was with DPS. Do you have to get a new license and is it valid?
