This is because once you are a police officer, you don't undergo another background check if you stay with the same employer--even 10, 15, 20 years later; however, with a CHL, you get checked prior to issuance and with each renewal (presently 4 years, but soon to be 5 years, I believe).
The one exception for police officers in Texas is if they have a TCLEOSE license showing an issuance date that is less than five years old. In that instance, it is accepted as having gone through NICS background check within the requisite period and is treated similarly to a CHL-holder.
