Universal Citation: 7 TX Admin Code § 85.406

Current through Reg. 50, No. 13; March 28, 2025

(a) Reporting requirements. The information on the pawn ticket must be made available to the law enforcement agency electronically or through the production of a separate copy of the pawn ticket.

(b) Suggested electronic reporting guidelines. These suggested guidelines are intended to give pawnshops considerable flexibility to fit individual needs while providing some guidance. Modifications to the guidelines may be made without the loss of protection from any liability defense. Electronic reporting is voluntary and should occur under mutually acceptable terms to the pawnbroker and the law enforcement agency. Information reported electronically should be transmitted by a method mutually acceptable to both the pawnshop and the law enforcement agency. The suggested guidelines are:

(1) the transmission be made using a disk, flash drive, remote access to secure websites maintained by law enforcement, or remote access to secure bulletin boards or websites;

(2) the information be provided in comma-delimited ASCII text with field titles as the first record of the transmission;

(3) the information be sent in batches no smaller than the daily activity;

(4) the information include all purchase and pawn transactions in a single transmission; and

(5) the law enforcement agency not be given direct access to a pawnshop's computer system.
