Re: Employment background checks & CHL
According to the law you quoted the law enforcement agency is allowed access to the records for a traffic stop but then DPS "shall notify a license holder of any request that is made for information relating to the license holder under this section and provide the name of the agency making the request."

Re: Employment background checks & CHL
Are you sure? I know people have their CHL status disclosed during a traffic stop and they didn't get a notice from DPS with "the name of the agency making the request."joe817 wrote:Here's the law in its entirety for confidential records for a CHL holder:
"Sec. 411.192. CONFIDENTIALITY OF RECORDS. (a) The department shall disclose to a criminal justice agency information contained in its files and records regarding whether a named individual or any individual named in a specified list is licensed under this subchapter. Information on an individual subject to disclosure under this section includes the individual's name, date of birth, gender, race, and zip code. Except as otherwise provided by this section and by Section 411.193, all other records maintained under this subchapter are confidential and are not subject to mandatory disclosure under the open records law, Chapter 552.
(b) An applicant or license holder may be furnished a copy of disclosable records regarding the applicant or license holder on request and the payment of a reasonable fee.
(c) The department shall notify a license holder of any request that is made for information relating to the license holder under this section and provide the name of the agency making the request.
(d) This section does not prohibit the department from making public and distributing to the public at no cost lists of individuals who are certified as qualified handgun instructors by the department."
