Texas SB15 establishes rules for maintaining department files by law enforcement agencies for their employees.

Texas SB15 amends the Occupations Code to create Section 1701.45351, which defines a "department file" as a file maintained by a law enforcement agency for each employee. This file must contain documents related to the employee, including those related to misconduct allegations. The agency head or their designee is responsible for maintaining these files. The bill allows agencies to review the contents of an employee's department file from previous employers and requires agencies to provide these contents to the commission under specific conditions.
