I have NO love for the security industry in Texas. They do have a well funded lobbying arm and for some reason ( money? ) they hold sway over our legislators. A prime example is when they managed to get a bill passed years ago that made it illegal for non full time Texas Peace Officers to work extra employment as security unless they had a security license. Despite the fact that most of these officers had more experience and training that the majority of licensed security guards. It was all about their wanting to monopolize the security market. While I have no issues with a group wanting to protect their income, I do have an issue with ignorant politicians not being able think logocally about a bill but simply voting to protect their donors. Today, part time and reserve officers are required to have the same training as a full time officer so it really makes no sense.

Okay, I will get off my soapbox.... for now.
