Topological metals of the tetradymite family M2Te2X (with M=Ti, Zr or Hf and X=P or As) have been recently proposed to possess multiple Dirac cones, different topological characteristics and a Dirac node arc [1-4]. Here we use spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy to directly probe the electronic dispersion and -for the first time- the spin texture of the topological surface states in Hf2Te2P and Ti2Te2P. Our results confirm a persistent spin polarization of these states along a high symmetry direction of the Brillouin zone, thereby establishing the presence of a Dirac node arc, regardless of the weak (Hf2Te2P) or strong (Ti2Te2P) character of the topological invariant.
