SECTION 13.160. Destruction Inventory - Security Control

(a) After laboratory analysis. If destruction under this subchapter follows a laboratory analysis process that has resulted in adequate repackaging and sealing of an item, the director will deem a destruction inventory to be sufficient if it consists of an inspection, accomplished without breaking the seal, in order to:

(1) verify the nature, kind, and quantity of the items sought to be destroyed as compared with the original laboratory submission; and

(2) determine the status of the packaging and seal integrity.

(b) No laboratory analysis. If destruction does not follow a laboratory analysis process that has resulted in adequate repackaging and sealing of an item, a destruction inventory must include:

(1) the relevant case or file number;

(2) the name of the seizing law enforcement agency or peace officer;

(3) a description of the packaging;

(4) a description of the status of the packaging and seal integrity; and

(5) the count and weight of the item, including the exact nature, kind, and quantity.
