Page 4 - A Peace Officer's Guide to Texas Law 2023

PREFACE

This 2023 Peace Officer Guide is a continuation of a semi-annual
series published by the Texas Police Association for many years as

a service to its members. The Guide is a compendium of reports
from the Legal Digests of the Texas Police Association from

September 2021, to August 2023. The editor has attempted to

select those court decisions which are of significance to the
working law enforcement officer and, within those selections, has

attempted to identify and present the information pertinent to the
daily work of police officers in Texas. This Guide is dedicated to

the men and women of Texas law enforcement and especially to

those officers wounded or killed in the line of duty and to their
families. The Legislative portion of the Guide is merely a start to

identifying the many, many provisions of the recent Texas

Legislature actions related to law enforcement. The reader is
directed to the TCOLE update class pertaining to that legislative

session.
