(a) The Camo Alert Network is a statewide emergency
response system for registered missing military members, whose whereabouts
are unknown, who have registered for the network, and suffer from
a mental illness, including post-traumatic stress disorder or a traumatic
brain injury. Military members can access the registration form on
the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) website.
(b) In order to maintain a high level of effectiveness,
the department and local law enforcement must accurately evaluate
the circumstances according to established criteria to justify activation
of the network.
(c) The department has complete discretion in making
the final determination about the activation of the Camo Alert Network.
Clearly established facts of the case will limit those instances where
the statutory criteria for activation are not met.
