License Plate
Does anyone know that when a LEO pulls you over that when they run your plates that it shows if you are a CHL holder? As soon as I got my CHL I recieved new license plates was wondering if this was just a coincidence or if it does show up.

The recieving license plates was coincidence.
Re: License Plate
I believe CHL is only tied to the DL. I have several vehicles titled in my name that I do not drive but other family members do i.e. father-in-law and daughter. I would hate for them to be pulled over and then greeted by an officer who suspects someone in the car is armed because they ran the plate.

Re: License Plate
This has been discussed here before. The CHL is tied only to the DL check. Some good dispatchers will try to run a DL chekc on the registered owner of the car when they get the plate return, just to save a little time. After all, it is probably a 50-50 chance that the owner is driving if it comes back to an individual.
In this case, the new plates were just a coincidence. Two different departments involved. TxDOT handles care registrations and DPS handles DL's and CHL's.

If my car was stolen and the car thief was pulled over, I would hate for the police officer to relax because he thought my car was being driven by me, i.e. someone with no wants, warrants or convictions.pt145ss wrote:I believe CHL is only tied to the DL.

We're here. With gear. Get used to it.
Re: License Plate
If the car was reported stolen...that would not be an issue. Running the plates would show it was stolen and the LEO would be on high alert.aardwolf wrote:If my car was stolen and the car thief was pulled over, I would hate for the police officer to relax because he thought my car was being driven by me, i.e. someone with no wants, warrants or convictions.pt145ss wrote:I believe CHL is only tied to the DL.
