What the Officer Lookup covers for Texas cases.
TCOLE certification + employment history
Statewide peace-officer, jailer, and telecommunicator license records maintained by the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement, agency stints with start and end dates, license types, and ranks, obtained under the Texas Public Information Act and published via the National Police Index (September 2023 snapshot).
License revocation flags
Officers whose TCOLE license record carries a revocation flag are marked. The flag comes directly from the TCOLE export, the underlying disciplinary case file requires a separate request to TCOLE, and the brief maps that demand path.
Records demand roadmap
The paid brief maps which record classes require a separate Texas Public Information Act demand and to which custodian, TCOLE disciplinary case files, local internal-affairs units, county District Attorney Brady/Giglio lists, and includes a drafted request letter pre-filled with the officer's identifiers.
Identity verification checklist
TCOLE rows match on name and agency, never a confirmed identity. Every match result carries a confidence level, and the brief flags same-name candidates so you verify identity before attaching any row to a motion.
What this solves.
- Public officer data is fragmented across opinion text, public-record portals, complaint datasets, and certification exports. The preview tool pulls the Texas certification layer into one search, including prior agencies the officer left before joining the one on your case.
- The paid brief includes a drafted, statute-cited records-request letter, citing the Texas Public Information Act, Tex. Gov't Code ch. 552, pre-filled with the officer's identifiers, plus the custodian-by-custodian roadmap for the TCOLE disciplinary case file, the local IA file, and the county DA Brady/Giglio list the certification dataset does not hold.
- Every entry carries a citation to the underlying public record, with an identity-verification checklist before you rely on any row or attach it to a motion.

Texas Officer Lookup, questions from defenders.
- What does the Officer Lookup cover for a Texas officer?
- Texas results currently show TCOLE certification and employment-history rows, including a license-revocation flag where TCOLE's record carries one, not local-agency internal affairs complaints or Brady/Giglio lists. The paid brief includes the records-demand roadmap and drafted letters for requesting those separate layers under the Texas Public Information Act (Tex. Gov't Code ch. 552).
- What is in the $147 brief?
- For the officer you name: a candidate-match summary, the source-backed TCOLE certification and employment-history rows, a records-demand roadmap, an identity-verification checklist, a drafted Texas Public Information Act (ch. 552) records-request letter, and a source appendix linking each row to its public-record origin, as a citable PDF and DOCX.
- How do I confirm it is the right officer?
- Every match carries an identity-confidence level and multi-agency name hits are flagged. The tool does not certify identity, confirm name, agency, and appointment date against your case discovery before attaching any row to a motion.
- Is this a Brady or Giglio determination?
- No. It surfaces public-record leads for attorney review; it does not make a legal conclusion or replace discovery, Henthorn/Giglio procedures, or local prosecutor disclosure policy. A complaint record is not a finding of misconduct.
- Can I see what the brief looks like first?
- Yes, a sample brief shows the section format with illustrative specimen data, and the live search preview is free and returns real source-backed rows for an officer you enter.
