Tex. Gov't Code § 814.207 · Subchapter C. DISABILITY RETIREMENT BENEFITS
DISABILITY RETIREMENT BENEFITS FOR CERTAIN PEACE OFFICERS.
Text — Current through the 89th 2nd Called Legislative Session, 2025
(a) An annuity payable for an occupational disability resulting from a risk to which law enforcement or custodial officers are exposed because of the nature of law enforcement or custodial duties is payable under the same terms and conditions that apply to other occupational disability retirement annuities under this subtitle, except that the source and amount of the annuity are as provided by this section.
(b) Except as provided by Subsection (c), an occupational disability retirement annuity under this section is an amount, but not more than 100 percent, computed on the basis of the officer's average monthly compensation, times a percentage derived by application of Section 814.107(b).
(c) A disability retirement annuity under this section is not reducible because of age and may not be less than 50 percent of the officer's average monthly compensation regardless of the amount of service credited to the officer in the employee class.
(d) The portions of the annuity under this section payable from the law enforcement and custodial officer supplemental retirement fund are the amount remaining after deduction of any amount payable under Section 814.206, except the portion of an amount that exceeds the minimum payments provided by Section 814.206(b) and that is made for service other than as a law enforcement or custodial officer and any amount by which an annuity is increased under Subsection (e).
(e) If a retiring member or retiree under this section presents evidence satisfactory to the retirement system that the person's occupational disability makes the person incapable of substantial gainful activity solely because of the disability and is considered a total disability under federal social security law, the retirement system shall, notwithstanding Section 811.006, increase the person's occupational disability retirement annuity to a monthly amount computed based on the maximum salary authorized under the position classification salary schedule prescribed by the General Appropriations Act, as adjusted from time to time, applicable to the position from which the person retired.
(f) An annuity increase under Subsection (e) is not payable before the first month following the month in which the satisfactory evidence is received by the retirement system under Subsection (e).
