Did you break the law today ??

Submitted by sclausnitzer on Wed, 07/02/2008 - 9:03am.

According to this article ( http://www.ij.org/first_amendment/tx_computer_repair/6_26_08pr.html ) any IT Pro who "repairs" a PC in Texas without a Private Investigators license will be doing just that.

This leads to other serious questions for our Texas brethren:
- Will this apply to in-house repairs?
- Will your school pay for such licensing?
- Will you throw away every computer at it's first BSOD for the next three years?
- Will this allow PC techies to carry guns?

With penalties up to $4,000, 1 year in jail, and civil liability up to $10,000 for both the tech and the customer, it looks like Texas may soon be forced into "outsourcing" computer repairs.

be using generally the Bluebook for citation form.
