As TAM said, it applies to the non-public areas of "police departments and sheriff''s department" single-use facilities. I don't think it applies to DPS at all, but I'm not sure of the status of DPS as a law enforcement agency. I think it is unique and not a "police" department, but I'm not sure. If I get time, I'll look it up. Either way, it wouldn't apply to the areas the public uses for driver licenses, etc.

If this is true then would that include jury duty?
If not then could it be included on an addendeum to the law?

Someone is confusing the new "Law Enforcement Facility" provisions with courts. A law enforcement facility is defined very narrowly and applies only to police departments and sheriff's offices.

Courts are off-limits and they don't have to provide lock boxes.
