Re: Duty to Provide LTC on Voluntary Identification to LEO?

The LEO did demand ID, while you were not required to show ID under normal conditions this demand had no basis in law for a normal situation, which this was.

Had you been carrying you would have been required to notify him by statute as he did demand ID under a strict reading of the law. As far as I am aware there is no case law resolving the conflicting, and for the most part unrelated, statutes although I suspect a trial court would go with you being required to provide your LTC.

I would contact the officer's supervisor(s) and suggest the officer receive additional training on Texas LTC statutes, specifically the requirement to ID.
