Texas SB781 mandates law enforcement agencies to maintain department files for each license holder, detailing documents not in personnel files.

Texas SB781 amends the Occupations Code to require law enforcement agencies to maintain a department file for each license holder they employ. These files must include any letters, memorandums, or documents not in the personnel files, such as those related to unsustained misconduct allegations. The head of the agency or their designee is responsible for maintaining these files. The bill specifies that these department files are confidential and not subject to public disclosure under Chapter 552, Government Code, except when the hiring agency or the commission requests them.
