Texas Drug & Alcohol Testing General Guidelines
Texas law contains no general provision related to drug/alcohol testing. However, employers with 15 or more employees who have workers' compensation insurance coverage must adopt a policy designed to eliminate drug abuse and its effects in the workplace. Employers must distribute a written copy of the policy to each employee.
Reporting to State of CDL Positives - Also embracing a legislative mini-trend, Texas has enacted a law requiring notification to the state of positive drug or alcohol tests for employee/drivers with a commercial driver's license (CDL). Employers required to do such testing (under the FMCSA's regulations), must report to the Texas Department of Safety: (1) a valid positive drug- or alcohol-test result; (2) a refusal-to- test; or (3) an adulterated, diluted or substituted specimen. The Department of Safety has confidentiality protocols. Under TRC 644 252, forms regarding the reporting of valid positive tests and the release of reported positive test results are available on the Texas Department of Safety's website under "Commercial Vehicle Enforcement (CVE) Forms."
