OK, you fine legal eagles, help me read this right...
I read...leaving out the seemingly irrelevant parts
§ 46.15. NONAPPLICABILITY.
(b) Section 46.02 does not apply to a person who:
(6) is carrying a concealed handgun and a valid
license issued under Article 4413(29ee), Revised Statutes, to carry
a concealed handgun of the same category as the handgun the person
is carrying;
and 46.02 says
§ 46.02. UNLAWFUL CARRYING WEAPONS. (a) A person
commits an offense if he intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly
carries on or about his person a handgun, illegal knife, or club.
(b) Except as provided by Subsection (c), an offense under
this section is a Class A misdemeanor.
(c) An offense under this section is a felony of the third
degree if the offense is committed on any premises licensed or
issued a permit by this state for the sale of alcoholic beverages.
Now, the statutes seem to say that if you have your CHL on you, and a handgun of the appropriate type, that you can carry an "illegal knife" and/or "club" as well, since if you have both license and firearm, then the entire section (46.02) doesn't apply. Note that 46.15 doesn't say that only the handgun part of 46.02 doesn't apply, but that the entire section doesn't apply.
Am I close, or reading wishfully?
