"What a packed agenda at the Texas Forensic Science Commission on Friday in Austin! Take a look, there's a lot happening. Here's a non-comprehensive taste of the issues they'll cover: Two new lab disclosures and five new complaints; Discuss crime-lab accreditation program (shifted from DPS to FSC this session);Discuss status of forensic licensure requirement (must be implemented by 2019);  Updates from two investigative panels on toolmark cases;  Update from investigative panel on digital forensics; Update from bite-mark panel; Update from hair microscopy panel; Update from DNA mixture panel; Update on arson case review and implementation of recommendations; Update on status of Morton/Brady training for forensic scientists... Grits has complained for years that a lot of important stuff happens at the FSC and almost nobody in the media covers it. At the last FSC meeting there were two reporters there (Michael Hall from Texas Monthly and Brandi Grissom from the Dallas News), which is a lot for these events."
