PI License for PC Repair Techs in Texas?

Due to a bizarre new law passed in Taxes, computer repair technicians reportedly will soon be required to obtain private investigator licensing to continue their trade.

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.

Wholey crap (two weeks later)! That's going to drive computer repair prices up a bit, as well as drive quite a few techs clear out of the state!

If you aren't performing forensics investigations of computers you won't have to worry. You can read the law if you want. http://tlo2.tlc.state.tx.us/statutes/docs/OC/content/htm/oc.010.00.001702.00.htm#1702.104.00

Some folks want the law better defined.

A discussion is going on at PCMag's forum. http://discuss.pcmag.com/forums/1/1004403117/ShowThread.aspx
