TCU, Baylor, SMU, Rice, Hardin, Our Lady of the Lake, Austin College, HBU, University of St. Thomas and the list goes on. I'd venture to say that if a University has a campus police dept. they'll be hiring commissioned officers, just for liability reasons.Hindenburg wrote:It depends.

So you don't know, like me, if private university police are state sworn peace officers that can enforce all state, local, laws etc.

I'd say yes. University Police are commissioned Texas Peace Officers.
