Thanks....I looked at that thread and missed this post....I think we are arguing the same thing from different viewpoints....my point is that Law enforcement does not have access to this system as it is a Medical system. Background checks for such things as CHLs are done by LE personnel who cannot access this system. So a computer "check" by a LEO doing a background for a CHL application will not inquire into this database. And as I understand the Instant Check system for purchasing a weapon, it also is done through Law Enforcement channels not medical. The question is : Do we want to open our medical records to Law Enforcement?Lucky45 wrote:I posted that information on Saturday in the discussion.

4-What specific information is maintained in the database?
The database in Texas is called WEBCARE.
1. State Health Department. ??? Mental Health Dept.
2. Only medical personal and insurance companies can accessed and retrieve info. Police can enter info into database.
3. Medical personal with authorization can access it. (Any and all licensed in some way or fashion.)
4. Only mental illness that has been diagnosed and treatment plans are enter into the database. People that have been perscribed certain drugs are automatically entered. Consultations with a shrink is not entered and stupid form question are not entered. ONLY DIAGNOSED MENTAL ILLNESS BY A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL IS ENTERED. cause I know some people will still come on here and make crazy statement. In plain english, if you have ever been to ANY doctor and they told you after an appointment that you have been DIAGNOSED with a mental illness that is written in a medical journal and entered into your medical file Then chances are YOU ARE IN THE TEXAS DATABASE..called WEBCARE.
