HB 362, by Talton, would require that anyone accepting a driver's license as ID must accept a Texas CHL for the same purpose.
Largely symbolic, given that the Texas CHL isn't valid without a Texas DL or ID.

Officers would pick up on a CHL as soon as they ran the DL, and so would the DA. I have to think no matter how minor the offense LEOs would want a CHL pulled. I certainly would.Warhorse545 wrote:If say a person committed a crime and did not have weapon or CHL on him the license would not be yanked on the spot.

That's why my suggested law says an agency may accept the CHL in lieu of a BG check. You would have the option to run (and pay for) the BG check if you felt it necessary.

An indictment for a disorderly conduct class C misdemeanor ($500 fine for public intoxication, fighting in public, peeping tom, etc.) will get your CHL suspended. Indictment for any offense more serious than that will also result in immediate license suspension, with revocation if you're convicted. That should cover even the pettiest theft.Warhorse545 wrote:And with the 4 year renewals there could be all kinds of problems crop up between license and renewal that could be problems for employers that would be missed if the CHL was used. Things that would not revoke the license, but me as a manager would not like to see in a possible employee. Petty theft charges as one example.

OTOH
- An anti-gun company wouldn't be required to accept the CHL, therefore probably wouldn't ask for it.
- Save a company several hundred dollars a year in BG checks, and the attitude might change.
- Just about everyone in a profession where background checks are required, child care workers for instance, would have a great incentive to get a CHL, multiplying our numbers.

Background checks
The state requires employers to conduct background checks on all sorts of folks, like school bus drivers. Costs lots of money annually.
What if there was a state law allowing employers to accept a Texas CHL for such a state-required check, just like the Feds accept a Texas CHL in lieu of a NICS check.
The CHL background check is more thorough than the average run-their-record BG check, and any problem between renewals gets the CHL suspended.
Unlike most laws this would save state agencies and private employers money. And it would make the anti-gun folks pee their pants.
