1. (a) State-owned vehicles utilized by the commission for the enforcement of the Alcoholic Beverage Code shall, in accordance with Texas Civil Statutes, Article 6701m-l, as amended, be exempt from the requirement that such vehicles bear inscriptions. The primary use of the exempt vehicles is by enforcement agents of the commission in the detection and investigation of criminal violations of the code. The purpose served by not printing inscriptions on such vehicles is to increase the effectiveness of commission enforcement agents in detecting and investigating violations of the code and to provide a greater degree of safety for such agents and the state property under their control.
2. (b) Vehicles not assigned to enforcement agents of the commission shall be assigned to the agency motor pool and made available for checkout by qualified agency employees who require such vehicles for the performance of their duties.
3. (c) Vehicles assigned to the agency motor pool may not be assigned to an individual employee on a regular or everyday basis unless the administrator or his designee makes a written documented finding that such assignment is critical to the needs and mission of the agency.
