SUMM M A R Y Texas Law does not prohibit the Texas Medical Board from allowing its investigators who are not commissioned as peace officers to carry a concealed handgun pursuant to the concealed handgun law while the investigators are on duty. Adopting a concealed handgun policy that is consistent with state law would not waive the Texas Medical Board's immunity for its own actions of a legislative character. However, we cannot predict whether a court would construe section 411.208 of the Government Code as granting a state employer immunity for the negligent use of a handgun by an employee who holds a concealed handgun license.
