Re: TxDOT updates CHL policy for employees

I'm aware of another employee who made a copy of his CHL and turned it in, I'm wondering if we should both request the copies be returned?

Not sure if HR has them or they are sitting in someones desk draw?

Any advise?

Re: TxDOT updates CHL policy for employees

Sure does, I had to go to TxDot's Crossroads section, look under Misc. Conduct, I think its section 8, its highlighted.

A week before this went into effect we had a 3 car accident on the Interstate, we had two troopers working the whole county, 1 was dealing with a wreck near West, the second was at ours, 1 car involved was a pick Crown Vic with black wheels, 4 African-Americans in that car, long story short they wanted to fight the Trooper, I showed up along with the Safety officer working for the contractor, now it was 4 vs 3, but the sick feeling I got '' pretending '' to be armed scared the heck out of me.

He did cuff all of them with our help, drugs in the car, 1 came forward after 15 minutes on the ground and claimed the drugs, car got impounded, other 3 told to walk and get a ride.

Again, glad this went into effect, hopefully the kinks will work themselfs out before lawyers get involved.

Thanks for the info, glad I was told about this site, its worth its weight in gold!!!

Re: TxDOT updates CHL policy for employees

G27RR, thanks for the quick response, Waco district is a whole other animal as far as making up rules, maybe our new DE will change this.

As for the memo, it was buried at the bottom, as they really didn't want it to get to much attention, a coworker from another AO showed me the section under misc. conduct, and told me what he had done, at that point I contacted Austin, left a message and to this day no return call???

I did exacly what my coworker did the following day, just in case they pulled something out of their hat on me, I could say "wait, so and so did it this way". Not sure it would work, but needed something.

I think the government meetings will get you in trouble, but not sure what a meeting is in the field, we meet with the contractors, LE, homeowners, etc... I do see a lawsuit in the future if they don't carify.

Working several 35 accidents, its very easy for my handgun to be exposed, I carry OWB, so would that cause me to get fired?

In Waco it would!

Re: TxDOT updates CHL policy for employees

Txdot new policy is very confusing, in our district we had to make a copy of our chl and submit to the front office, in our office that is gossip central. Also what is considered a meeting? I'm in the inspection side and meet with contractors and other employees daily??? and of course austin will not return calls to carify??
I really think it was a great idea, never know what your up against in rural areas and assisting stranded motorists. If anyone has more info please share. Thank you.
