    The city didn’t make the decision. The Texas commission on law enforcement (TCLE) did.

    The mission of the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement, as a regulatory State agency, is to establish and enforce standards to ensure that the people of Texas are served by highly trained and ethical law enforcement, corrections, and telecommunications personnel.

      Thanks for mentioning that. I did read the article, but that went totally over my head.

      Sounds like something Abbot and Paxton would never allow tbh. I’m sure at least one of them have tried to shut it down or at least completely defang it.
