I've been stopped several times in Texas while carrying with passengers who did not know I was carrying. In every case, I would give the LEO my drivers license, CHL and auto insurance. The LEO would typically say (semi-discreetly) "Where is it"? I would discreetly point to it. And the LEO's response would be "Leave it there". And that was the end of it. In every case, none of the passengers ever realized what was going on between me and the LEO. If the passengers don't know you carry, then they view it as some screwball thing the LEO is doing and are none the wiser. At least, that's been my experience.
