The Texas Report of Application and/or Order Authorizing Interception of Communications (Federal) is a document issued by the State of Texas to authorize the interception of communications for the purpose of gathering evidence in criminal investigations. This document, which is required by federal law, grants law enforcement agencies permission to intercept the communications of individuals when they are suspected of engaging in criminal activity. There are two types of orders: an application for an order authorizing interception of communications and an order authorizing interception of communications. The application must be signed by a judge, who then reviews the application and determines whether to issue the order. The order, if granted, allows law enforcement to intercept the communications of the individual named in the application. The order will contain specific instructions regarding the type of communications that may be intercepted, the duration of the interception, and the methods of interception that may be used. The order will also contain provisions regarding the destruction of the intercepted communications after the purpose of the interception has been accomplished.
