I found this link to the site of the Texas Concealed Handgun Association:

A chart compares the arrest record of Texas Citizens 21 years or older and not having a Texas CHL ( CCW ) to those who do have one:
Sorry couldn't download that chart. Basically it shows that CHL holders are far and away more law abiding then the average not CHL holder.

From the web site:
A comparison was made with the arrest data for the entire Texas population for the same time period, showing that, on average: male Texans who are over 21 years old and are not CHL holders are 7.7 times more likely to be arrested for commission of a violent crime than male Texans with a CHL; and female Texans who are over 21 years old and are not CHL holders are 7.5 times more likely to be arrested for commission of a violent crime than female Texans with a CHL. Of the violent crime cases that have been adjudicated, approximately 26% of CHL holders who were arrested were convicted, and 44% are cleared of the violent crimes for which they were arrested.
