Texas Law on Police Officer Personnel Records | Community Exchange
Texas passed a new law about how police departments keep records on their officers. Police departments must now maintain separate files on each licensed officer they employ. These files contain information about officer conduct. Other police departments can review these files when hiring officers from another agency. This helps departments make better hiring decisions.
