Re: Can you carry without a license, if the status is print pending?

There are several groups of people that you can 100% rest assured are on the rap back list. All leave officers certified through TCOLE are on the rap back list. In fact, when one of us is arrested we have thirty days to report the arrest. TCOLE uses it to verify arrest out of state for its officers.

FBI agents are there too. So are some military personnel. Not all
Military but some are. All of the three letter intelligence agencies have their officers and sgents on the list.

As far as LTC carriers they are there too. In fact, when I was an officer in Mississippi before I transfer my POST cert to TCOLE we had an officer arrested there in Jackson and he also had to CHL. This was in 1997. He was arrested and our sheriff in Hinds County sent a letter of requested suspension to Austin.

Re: Can you carry without a license, if the status is print pending?

Your license to carry is also on the "rap back" list in case you're ever arrested in any jurisdiction state local or
Federal that reports arrests to TCIC or NCIC. This means your license and you are well known when you're charged with a. Offense.

Re: Can you carry without a license, if the status is print pending?

Okay, let's clear up this question. You must have it on your person...I.e, "carrying".

Now having said that...it is entered into NCIC and is brought up with your DL every time they do a 10-28/29 on you on a stop. So in theory the peace officer that stops you, assuming the LTC has truly been issued and is just in the mail, would immediately know that you're a Texas LTC holder.

Now, this is vastly different from operating a motor vehicle without a license on your person. In this case there is specific Texas law that mandates the judge and/or district attorney to dismiss the charge against you if you prove the court within 30 days of your citation that you were in fact th holder of a valid DL when stopped, it just was not with you (was at home cause you forgot your purse or wallet)

Hear me clearly on this: The above exemption does NOT apply to the License to Carry. There is no law that says you have 30 days to prove to the court you were actually licensed when you were arrested for Unlawful Carrying of a Weapon under the Texas Penal Code.

Hope that helps! :-)
