This is the Fifteenth Edition of A Peace Officer's Guide to Texas Law, and is being
provided to members of the Texas Police Association as a benefit of membership. The
Police Legal Digest, contained in each issue of the Texas Police Journal, and the Guide are
intended to serve as vital sources of up-to-date information for Texas Peace Officers.
Many departments provide all their officers with membership in TPA so that each
officer will receive a copy of the Guide, a monthly edition of the Police Legal Digest, and
other timely articles. This is a wise expenditure of training funds in these times of shrinking
budgets. Any department interested in signing up their officers should contact the Texas
Police Association office for additional information. For individual membership, an
application can be found on our website at www.TexasPoliceAssociation.com, in the
Texas Police Journal, or in the Guide.
The Texas Police Association deeply appreciates Joe C. Tooley, TPA General
Counsel, for his tireless efforts in preparing the Police Legal Digest each bi-month and the
monumental task of writing and assembling this edition of A Peace Officer's Guide to
Texas Law.
