I know there is a law but I'm not sure what is approved because I know bars can swipe TDL's for age verification the State is ok with that.

Federal law makes it illegal and punishable by 5 years in a federal pen for copying my us army ID, texas law makes it a class c misdemeanor to copy my texas military ID, so aww darn. I have never had my DL copied at any MD's office

What is the penal code / reference for these two laws?

I didn't realize you could skip the background check, I thought it mostly just allowed you to skip putting down the SS# on the forms.

They will more than likely take your CHL if you are convicted of a felony and not give it back. And if you answer falsely that you are not currently under indictment for a felony, then you have lied anyway.

They don't wait till you're convicted to take it. They take it when you're charged.

license under this section if the license holder:

(2) made a m aterial misrepresentation or failed to disclose a
material fact in an application submitted under this subchapter;
(3) subsequently becomes ineligible for a license under Section
411.172, unless the sole basis for the ineligibility is that the license

misdemeanor or equivalent offense, or of an offense under Section
42.01, Penal Code, or equivalent offense, or of a f elony under an
information or indictment;
(4) is convicted of an offense under Section 46.035, Penal Code;

(b) If a peace officer believes a reason listed in Subsection (a) to revoke
a license exists, the officer shall prepare an affidavit on a form provided
by the department stating the reason for the revocation of the license and
giving the department all of the information available to the officer at the
time of the preparation of the form. The officer shall attach the officer's
