Agenda item #6, Discuss and take action on the Request for Waiver of TCOLE Rules

217.1 Minimum Standards for Initial Licensure and 217.23 Basic Licensing

Enrollment Standards.

Class B Waiver for Caddo Mills Police Department for Leonard Jimmerson

Chief Brian Barrett, Caddo Mills Police Department, appeared before the

Commission stating he intends to hire Mr. Jimmerson as a reserve officer, and

will bring him on full time when a position is available. Mr. Jimmerson

addressed the Commission stating he was with the Oklahoma County Sheriff’s

Office and returned to Texas to be a bounty hunter for Rockwall County and as a

juvenile lead officer in Hunt County. Commissioner Hester asked Mr.

Jimmerson about his conviction of driving with a suspended license. Mr.

Jimmerson explained that at the time he was on his mother’s insurance, she

didn’t pay the premium, so he was arrested for driving without insurance. Since

that time, he has had his own insurance. Today this is a Class C misdemeanor.

Commissioner Lovejoy made a motion to approve the waiver. Commissioner

Villescas seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.

Class A Waiver for Waller County Sheriff’s Office, Randall Lewis

Sheriff Glenn Smith and Chief Deputy Joe Hester appeared before the

Commission. Chief Deputy Hester conducted the background on Mr. Lewis.

Sheriff Smith said he intends to hire Mr. Lewis after he completes his basic peace

officer training. Mr. Lewis said that he has been a resident of Waller County

since 1983 and currently works with the Waller County EMS. When

Commissioner Hollingsworth asked him to address the incident and Mr. Lewis

told of the events surrounding his arrest. He said he enrolled in the basic peace

officer course about ten years ago after submitting his fingerprints and being told

he was eligible to attend. While studying, he read that a Class A misdemeanor

was a bar from law enforcement. His conviction was deferred, so he believed he

was eligible to attend the training. After consulting with an attorney, and

speaking with the academy coordinator, he resigned from the class.

Commissioner Kyker made a motion to approve the waiver for Mr. Lewis and let

him attend the academy. Commissioner Lovejoy seconded the motion. The

motion passed unanimously.

At this point, Executive Director Vickers told the commissioners that the vetting

process for the Class A waiver is working. We received another waiver request,

TCOLE Minutes

March 27, 2014

Page 4

but we did not bring it forward. This waiver was for an individual with three

Class A misdemeanors, one being for violation of a protective order.

Agenda item #7, Discuss and take action on proposed orders of amendments to

existing and new TCOLE rules.

Proposed Amendment 1, Rule 215.7, Training Provider Advisory Board

Mr. Beauchamp explained this is amendment expands the duties of the advisory

board allowing them to set policies and procedures with the consent of the chief

administrator. Executive Director Vickers explained that the original reason for

having an advisory board in this process was to provide transparency and public

input into the training of law enforcement officers. Through previous rule

changes, we deviated from the original intent of the advisory board. This

amendment clarifies the role of the advisory board. Commissioner Hester asked

if this rule proposal is a result from requests by administrators or a result of

discussion with training providers and advisory staff. Mr. Vickers said that this

change comes from a realization that the current rule deviates from the original

intent of the advisory boards. Commissioner Lovejoy noted that he has been

seeing applications where public members of the advisory board are ex-law

enforcement officers. Executive Director Vickers confirmed that staff is

monitoring this.

Commissioner Lovejoy made a motion for approval. Commissioner

Hollingsworth seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.

Proposed Amendment 2, Rule 215.9, Training Coordinator

Mr. Beauchamp noted that this amendment is in conjunction with Amendment 1.

The proposed amendment removes enforcement of admission, attendance,

retention, and other standards set by the commission from the training advisor to

the advisory board.

Commissioner Lovejoy made a motion to approve the amendment to Rule 215.9.

Commissioner Hollingsworth seconded the motion. The motion passed

unanimously.

Proposed Amendment 3, Rule 217.1 Minimum Standards for Enrollment and Initial

Licensure

TCOLE Minutes

March 27, 2014

Page 5

Mr. Beauchamp stated that this combines the licensing enrollment standards rule

and the licensing standards into one rule. It includes telecommunicators.

Commissioner Hollingsworth made a motion to pass Proposed Amendment 3,

Rule 217.1 Minimum Standards for Enrollment and Initial Licensure.

Commissioner Lovejoy seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.

Proposed Amendment 4, Rule 217.2, Minimum Standards for Telecommunicators

Mr. Beauchamp noted that this is to repeal rule 217.2 as it is now incorporated

into 217.1

Commissioner Lovejoy moved for approval of Proposed Amendment 4, Rule

217.2. Commissioner Hollingsworth seconded the motion. The motion passed

unanimously.

Proposed Amendment 5, Rule 217.23, Basic Licensing Enrollment Standards

Mr. Beauchamp said that this is to repeal Rule 217.23 as it has been incorporated

into Proposed Amendment 1.

Commissioner Lovejoy moved for approval of the Proposed Amendment 5,

217.23. Commissioner Hollingsworth seconded the motion. The motion passed

unanimously.

Proposed Amendment 6, Rule 217.25, Telecommunicator Enrollment Standards

Mr. Beauchamp noted that this was incorrectly posted on the agenda as Rule

217.2 and asked that the minutes reflect the correct rule number as 217.25.

This amendment is to repeal Rule 217.25 as it has been incorporated into Rule

217.1

Commissioner Lovejoy recommends approval of Proposed Amendment 6,

217.25. Commissioner Kyker seconded the motion. The motion passed

unanimously.

Proposed Amendment 7, Rule 221.13, Emergency Telecommunications Proficiency

Mr. Beauchamp stated the amendment to this rule adds a Master proficiency

certificate for telecommunicators.

Commissioner Hollingsworth made a motion to accept the amendment to Rule

221.13, Emergency Telecommunications Proficiency. Commissioner Lovejoy

seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.

Proposed Amendment 8, Rule 221.31, Retired Peace Officer and Federal Law

Enforcement Officer Firearms Proficiency

Mr. Beauchamp noted that this removes redundant cross-referencing to Rule

217.21.

Commissioner Lovejoy requested approval of Proposed Amendment 8, 221.31.

Commissioner Hester seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.

Agenda item #8, Discussion of and take actions on proceedings for revocation,

suspension, and other disciplinary actions.

Raymond Winter with the Attorney General’s office addressed the Commission.

Default Suspension Orders Grimes, Ray L. 13-03-0521 Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office

Lyons, John B. 12-07-1147 Parker County Sheriff’s Office

Martinez, Domingo N. 11-12-0258 Fort Worth Police Department

Palomo, Maria L. 13-08-0883 Harris County Sheriff’s Office

Pretzman, Christina N. 13-07-0793 Lacy Lakeview Police Department

Roesch Tonihka, Lauren C. 13-10-0105 Collin County Sheriff’s Office

Mr. Winter noted that these individuals were convicted of or received deferred

adjudication for offenses that, under Commission rules and laws, would qualify them

for suspension of licenses. Proper notification was sent to each. Each failed to respond.

Therefore they have defaulted on their right to a contested case hearing.

Commissioner Hollingsworth made a motion that the Commission accept and adopt

the recommendations of the Executive Director to enter a default final order as

authorized under the provisions of 37 Texas Administrative Code, Section 223.3, and as

required under the provisions of Texas Occupations Code, Chapter 1701, Section

TCOLE Minutes

March 27, 2014

Page 7

1701.501 to suspend the license of Ray L. Grimes, John B. Lyons, Domingo N. Martinez,

Maria L. Palomo, Christina N. Pretzman, and Lauren C. Roesch Tonihka.

Commissioner Lovejoy seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously.

Default Cancellation Order Starnes, Bobby S. 14-02-2425 Hickory Creek Police Department

Mr. Winter stated that Mr. Starnes did not qualify for a license due to a Class A

misdemeanor conviction from 1994 for the offense of assault. Proper notification was

sent to him. He failed to respond. Therefore he has waived his opportunity for a

contested case hearing.

Commissioner Hollingsworth made a motion that the Commission accept and adopt

the recommendations of the Executive Director to enter a final Default Cancellation

Order to cancel the license of Bobby S. Starnes. Commissioner Lovejoy seconded the

motion.

Commissioner Hester asked if Mr. Starnes is working and Executive Director Vickers

responded that he is not. Commissioner Villescas asked how the arrest was discovered.

Mr. Helenberg said that Mr. Starnes was arrested for a subsequent offense, the arresting

agency ran a CCH, and found that he had a previous arrest that didn’t show up on a

previous criminal history check. Commissioner Hester asked if Mr. Starnes was

employed the second time that he was arrested to which Mr. Vickers stated that he was.

The Presiding Officer called for a vote on the motion. The motion passed unanimously.

Agreed Suspension Order Marquez, Roy A. 12-10-0101 Houston Police Department

Mr. Winter said that there has been a negotiated agreement. Mr Beauchamp said that

Mr. Marquez was convicted of Driving While Intoxicated in 2013. He submitted to staff

evidence which determined both a period of suspension and evidence which goes

toward mitigating that suspension. There is a signed agreed suspension order pending

approval by the commission. Mr. Marquez is willing to agree to the suspension order

with the understanding that if he fails to successfully meet all of the requirements, his

license will be suspended for a term of 10 years. The term of suspension is 10 years, the

entire term will be probated with the actual 60 day suspension backdated to run with

TCOLE Minutes

March 27, 2014

Page 8

his department suspension. The remainder of the suspension will be probated, subject

to his fulfillment of the conditions of probation set forth in the agreed suspension order.

Robert Armbruster, Houston Police Officer’s Union, noted that the chief of police has

decided to keep Mr. Marquez as an officer. He considered the conditions of probation

from the criminal court, the Internal Affairs investigation results, and the details of the

criminal court proceeding when making this decision. Commissioner Villescas asked if

the time period between the conviction in 2013 and coming before the Commission in

2014 is a normal time period. Executive Director Vickers offered the explanation that he

believes officers should be held accountable for their actions. But he also understands

that officers sometime make bad choices and an administrator may want to salvage the

officer’s career. The Houston Police Department program is extensive. Before this

request for an agreed suspension comes to TCOLE, the individual has gone through all

the steps of the HPD program. With the agreed order, we require our own

probationary steps that the officer must fulfill. If he fails our probation, he will receive

a 10 year hard suspension. Commissioner Hester noted that he didn’t see the offense

report in the packet of information that was provided to the Commissioners. Mr.

Beauchamp said the offense report is not included in the packet with agreed suspension

orders, but if the Commissioners want that in the future, it can be provided.

Commissioner Hester stated he can support the chief’s decision to salvage an officer’s

career. But if the officer decides to leave the agency and become employed by another

law enforcement agency, the agreed suspension shouldn’t move with him.

Commissioner Lovejoy made a motion that the Commission accept and adopt the

recommendations of the Executive Director to enter a final Agreed Suspension Order

for Roy A. Marquez. The Presiding Officer called for a second to the motion. There

being no second, the motion died. The Presiding Officer called for another motion.

Commissioner Hester requested additional discussion and asked Mr. Beauchamp if

there is a way to require the officer to remain with the agency. Mr. Beauchamp noted

that because this is not part of the current agreed suspension rule, it wouldn’t apply to

today’s decision. The Presiding Officer asked Mr. Vickers to review the process of the

agreed suspension order. Mr. Vickers said had Houston PD not sought the agreed

suspension order, it would have come before the Commission with up to a 10 year

suspension with the normal request being 2 years hard suspension and 8 years

probated. With the agreed order, it doesn’t go to SOAH. Without a second to the

motion, it will go to SOAH where the Administrative Law Judge makes a decision, it

returns to TCOLE to review, then goes before the Commission at another meeting.

Commissioner Lovejoy made a motion that the Commission accept and adopt the

recommendations of the Executive Director to enter into a final Agreed Suspension

Order for Roy A. Marques. Commissioner Kyker seconded the motion.

Commissioner Villescas asked how the agreed order is decided. Mr. Beauchamp said

the licensee submits a packet as required by rule. It is reviewed by legal counsel, and

before it is placed on the SOAH docket, it is discussed with the Executive Director. The

Executive Director with the advice of legal counsel suggest the appropriate suspension.

Mr. Vickers explained that they look at all the facts, determine what they believe is the

appropriate suspension, send it back to the officer, and if they are agreeable then it

comes before the Commission. Suspension is based on the mitigating and aggravating

factors of each case. Commissioner Villescas confirmed that staff has seen the offense

report in these cases. Commissioner Hester noted that the arrest occurred in 2011 and

asked what Mr. Marquez has been doing since that time. Mr. Armbruster explained

that an officer in this situation is placed in “relieved of duty” status where he will either

be at home or conducting administrative duties. In this situation, the criminal case was

not resolved until April 2013. After that, Mr. Marquez met with the chief to determine

the appropriate discipline. After the discipline was served, he was allowed to work in

uniform. The criminal part of the case is resolved before moving to the disciplinary

part. The arrest was in 2011, the conviction was in 2013. The Commission doesn’t

become involved until after notification of the conviction. Mr. Marquez has completed

23 counseling sessions and under the conditions of the agreed order, he will be required

to complete 15 more sessions. Mr. Beauchamp noted that when TCOLE receives agreed

suspension requests, they are vetted and only those that staff deems acceptable are

brought before the Commission. He then reviewed the list of requirements for the

agreed suspension order. If Mr. Marquez doesn’t comply 100%, the probated

suspension reverts to a 10 year hard suspension. Commissioner Villescas asked if the

Executive Director has spoken with the HPD chief, or reviewed the documents. Mr.

Vickers stated that he has reviewed the documents and believes it is apparent the chief

wants to salvage the officer’s career. He has not personally spoken with the chief.

The Presiding Officer called for a vote by show of hands. The motion passed with

Commissioners Kyker, Pennington, Hood, Villescas, and Lovejoy voting in favor of the

motion. Commissioners Hollingsworth and Hester voted against the motion.

Commissioner Villescas asked that legal counsel explore whether an officer under an

agreed suspension order can be required to stay with the agency that requested the

TCOLE Minutes

March 27, 2014

Page 10

order. Commissioner Pennington asked if TCOLE can suggest the HPD program as

best practices around the state and at LEMIT classes to the chiefs. Mr. Vickers

understands that Dallas Police Department is considering emulating the HPD program.

The Commission took a brief break, resuming at 11:15 a.m.

For Information Only Mr. Winter noted that the remaining items under #8 were for information only and did

not require action.
