Summary

Currently, there is no standardized procedure that Texas law enforcement agencies follow in determining the confidentiality and release of sensitive information related to peace officers, such as background hiring information and unsubstantiated misconduct complaints. Instead, the confidentiality of sensitive peace officer information depends on whether an officer is employed by the state, or their employing political subdivision has adopted Local Government Code, Chapter 143.
