The Honorable Chris D. Prentice - Page 3 (JC-0468)
the entity authorized to issue licenses under that chapter. Furthermore, chapter 37 does not state that
persons licensed thereunder are peace officers.
A statute that is plain and unambiguous will ordinarily be construed according to its literal
language. Bd. oflns. Comm 'rs v. Guardian Life Ins. Co., 180 S.W.2d 906, 909 (Tex. 1944); see also
Fitzgerald v. Advanced Spine Fixation Sys., Inc., 996 S.W.2d 864, 865-66 (Tex. 1999); Boykin v.
State, 818 S.W.2d 782, 785 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991) (en banc). We conclude, therefore, that the
designated representative of an authorized agent-Hale County-of the TNRCC under chapter 366,
Health and Safety Code, is not a peace officer for purposes of sections 7.193 and 26.215 of the Water
Code.
