(a) Any law enforcement officer investigating a criminal case may request driver or operating authority information from the operating authority in emergency situations where an individual is in danger of bodily injury, serious bodily injury, or death. The operating authority must respond immediately. This information must include all information relevant to the investigation. The law enforcement agency will follow up with a warrant or subpoena when practical. In other criminal cases not involving emergency situations law enforcement will provide the correct means to gather the information and the operating authority must respond either verbally or in writing within twenty-four (24) hours.
(b) If any records inspected under this section are designated as proprietary or confidential by an operating authority and are the subject of a request under the Texas Public Information Act, then the city shall notify the operating authority as required by the Texas Public Information Act and shall seek an opinion from the Texas Attorney General as to the confidentiality of any information designated as proprietary or confidential by the operating authority.
