Basis for Revocation or
Suspension
of Texas Concealed Handgun Licenses
May 19, 2000 BASIS
FOR REVOCATION OR SUSPENSION OF TEXAS CONCEALED HANDGUN LICENSES
The data used to compile this report
was received through the following avenues:
-
Concealed Handgun License Suspension
or Revocation forms submitted by law enforcement agencies
-
Fingerprint cards submitted with new
arrest information submitted by law enforcement agencies
-
Uniformed Crime Reporting-Concealed
Handgun License Incident Reports submitted by law enforcement agencies
-
Notification programs for delinquent
taxes/fees from other Texas Governmental Agencies
-
Complaint letters from
individuals/law enforcement officials
Regarding arrest and offense data:
The offense information on the following
charts is listed by individual charges and not by the number of arrests or
the number of Concealed Handgun License holders. A license holder may
have been arrested on more than one occasion and/or charged with more than
one offense at the time of arrest, accordingly the total number of offenses
may not equal the total number of Concealed Handgun License holders or the
total number of arrests.
The Texas Department of Public Safety
relies on law enforcement agencies and District or County Clerk's offices to
provide final disposition information, so conviction/dismissal data may
still be outstanding. Once the Concealed Handgun License has been
revoked, all tracking of subsequent charge(s)/incident(s) ceases.
