The only law in Texas on physical requirements for law enforcement is that each officer must get a doctor to sign a form saying he is capable of performing the job before he can be hired. Each department gets to make their own rules on what is required to do the job for their new hires. Some departments do everything they can to avoid medical retirements when the person is hurt on the job. Live Oak kept a female officer on the job after both her legs were amputated in an accident on duty.
