No matter what the legal requirements are, if contacted by police, it is much better for you to tell them you have a gun and where it is than for them to be surprised by it.
I had a pistol in the glove compartment once along with my insurance. Cop asked for the insurance and I told him of the situation and just asked what he’d like me to do. He took my word on the insurance. I make sure my insurance isn’t in the same place.

The only major downside to the CHL/LTC is the duty to inform. If you are carrying and get stopped, you have a duty to inform the officer as quickly as is allowed in the circumstances. IE dont jump out yelling " I GOT A GUN ON ME". I was taught many years ago to stack or velcro together the LTC and DL so it comes out as one to an officer. In todays time though, majority of officers know if you have a LTC before they walk up to your window. You follow the rules and laws and show your DL and LTC I'm curious about the basis for your statement.

My insurance card, gloves and my pistol are in my console. My truck's owner's manual and related docs are in the glove compartment.

Get the LTC and take the classes. It will teach you about what you can legally do when discharging a weapon. May save you a bunch of trouble in the future. PGR, I absolutely agree 100% I will always keep mine up to date and have attended classes after I got mine just to keep up with when you can and cannot use your handgun in Texas. I like the no background check and the reciprocity and the rules about how you can carry in your vehicle. But those somewhat complicated laws should I ever need to use mine, is something I sure want to be clear on. How would you like to live in Austin, or Dallas for that matter and find out your constitutional carry does not let you shoot someone who is running off with something they stole out of your truck?
