What happens to a provisional license if the terms of approval are not met according to TCOLE Rules?

When the terms of approval for a provisional license are not met according to the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) rules, the provisional license becomes void. This means it loses all operational validity, and the individual is no longer authorized to exercise the rights or privileges associated with the license.

The reasoning behind this is to ensure that all license holders adhere to established standards and criteria, which are fundamental to maintaining law enforcement integrity and public safety. If those standards are not adhered to, the TCOLE takes the stance that the individual must resolve any issues before being granted the privilege to operate under a license again. A void license cannot be reissued without first meeting specific requirements, underscoring the importance of compliance with TCOLE regulations.

Other options suggest actions such as automatic renewal or reissuance, which are not applicable when the terms of the provisional license are not met since it fundamentally implies a failure to fulfill necessary obligations. Therefore, the correct understanding aligns with the stipulation that failure to comply renders the license void, needing full resolution before any potential return to licensing is possible.
