If this is true, it seems I may not be going to Texas. Goat Texas PC Repair Now Requires PI License 06.30.08 http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1895,2324220,00.asp Source: PC Magazine From its Texas Rangers to its enthusiastic take on the death penalty, the Lone Star State has long been known for its aggressive stance on law enforcement. Thanks to a strange new law, it's a sting that may soon be felt by a number of the state's computer-repair people. A recently passed law requires that Texas computer-repair technicians have a private-investigator license, according to a story posted by a Dallas-Fort Worth CW affiliate. In order to obtain said license, technicians must receive a criminal justice degree or participate in a three-year apprenticeship. Those shops that refuse to participate will be forced to shut down. Violators of the new law can be hit with a $4,000 dollar fine and up to a year in jail, penalties that apply to customers who seek out their services. Some of the area's larger companies already employee technicians with PI licenses, a fact which generally doesn't apply to small computer repair shops. ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
