Hey guys,

I need some advice about how to deal with the Houston PD. Last week I was taken to the emergency room because of an interaction between alcohol and a prescription medication - my roommate called 911 after she couldn't wake me up. I stayed at the hospital overnight because of my physical condition but was never admitted to any sort of psychiatric facility. When the police came with EMS they removed two handguns and a shotgun from my apartment, which I'm guessing is standard procedure when responding to such calls. According to my roommate, each firearm was taken by a different cop. She showed a paramedic both my DL and CHL but no information was taken down until everyone else was gone. She didn't receive a report of any kind and I wasn't given a case number or other any paperwork.

I had no idea who to call about getting my firearms back so I called HPD administration. I had to explain the situation to three different people and was eventually transferred to Homicide. Here's the thing...the woman I spoke with couldn't find any information about the situation until she searched for the address they came to and the date/approximate time of the call -- she couldn't even locate the report when she searched for my name. She gave me the report number and told me that it would probably be "a long time" before I get them back and that I need to bring a note from my doctor saying he's "okay with me having guns."

This all seems a bit weird and kind of illegal...what do you guys think about all this? Any advice?
