Agreed. That had never occurred to me, but the law does seem to say that we're entitled to a notice anytime it's run - with no exclusion for traffic stops, etc.srothstein wrote:I had not thought about it, but the way I read this law, you should get a letter from DPS whenever you are run on a traffic stop. Basically, the letter should come any time your name is run through the driver's license system and it returns a CHL hit. this includes other times than traffic stops for many officers (such as running your DL when you ar ethe complainant on some report).
Also, for the OP, bear in mind that what we've discussed so far only pertains to a TX CHL. Just as each state makes its own laws about how to obtain a CHL and where a person can carry, they also make their own laws about disclosing a person's CHL status. While TX CHL records are private, the records of other states (such as UT) may not be.
