Re: LEOs and Off-Duty Carry Question

Penal Code 46.02 and 46.03 do not apply to commissioned peace officers. They can carry openly or concealed, in uniform or not, on the clock or not.

They are not legally obligated to carry. However, department policy may dictate what they do when not on duty.

BTW, there are a few other positions in Texas that are authorized to carry the same as LEOs: mainly judges and criminal district attorneys.
