The Texas Commission on Fire Protection (TCFP) is the regulating agency for all career fire departments in the state of Texas. TCFP regulations state, in Section 403.1 (b)</p><p>
&quot;The duties and responsibilities of persons who hold certifications issued by the commission each involve matters that directly relate to public safety. Fire protection personnel often have access to areas not generally open to the public. The public relies on the honesty, trustworthiness, and reliability of persons certified by the commission. Thus, crimes involving moral turpitude, including but not limited to fraud and dishonesty, are directly relevant. In addition, the ability of such persons to function unimpaired by alcohol or the illegal use of drugs, in dangerous or potentially dangerous circumstances, including but not limited to the operation of emergency vehicles is paramount in light of the duty to protect the health and safety of the public.&quot;</p><p>
