Can a private investigator access CCH files through TLETS?

Private investigators are typically restricted from accessing Criminal History Records and the Criminal History service through the Texas Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (TLETS). This limitation is in place to protect sensitive information regarding individuals and to ensure that only authorized personnel, such as law enforcement agencies, can access such data.

The prohibition on private investigators accessing these files is rooted in privacy and security concerns, ensuring that criminal history information remains confidential and is not misused. Other options may present scenarios that seem plausible, but they do not align with the established regulations governing access to CCH files through TLETS. Therefore, the assertion that private investigators are not permitted to access these files is accurate and reflects the legal framework in place for handling sensitive criminal data.
