Description

Texas Department of Public Safety repealed the Driver's Responsibility Program and cleared Texas resident's driver's license suspensions that were due to remaining balances on surcharges as related to traffic citations in 2019. The process for the suspension lift occurred via Texas Department of Public Safety's online system which required Texas residents to login and verify their identification, audit number and the unpaid surcharge amounts of which the Texas resident would be given a sort of amnesty for not paying. Once the Texas resident electronically signed the online (electronic form), the Texas resident's records would reflect "driver's eligibility." The State of Texas and Texas Department of Public Safety would then take any monies paid on surcharges as related to traffic citations and pocket it for their purposes. After a sum of six years, the company collected money for the issuance of a new driver's license in the State of Texas and mutilated a valid Real ID stamped State of Colorado driver's license for the purpose of issuing a paper copy of a driver's license permit. Within approximately eight days, Texas Department of Public Safety denied the permit stating that there was an existing violation on it from the year 2009 which over 16 years of age. The company was seeking benefit and ignoring every law and policy change to roll back law and driver's records to the year 2009 for illegal monetary gain. In 2009, the Driver Responsibility Program was reviewed, and amnesty programs began creation. Therefore, logically, if surcharges were paid and omni fees were paid, the traffic citation cases were dismissed. However, this was not the only hurdle the state agency created for Texas residents. Texas Department of Public Safety allowed two forms of identification with two different identification numbers to exist. During the years of the Driver's Responsibility Program, the agency would bounce surcharge amounts between the two forms of identification i.e., the Texas resident would pay on the surcharge fee twice between the two identification numbers. Meaning the agency received more than what the law allowed as many Texas residents reported paying off the surcharge amounts post hiring lawyers to litigate on the traffic citations and then having to repeat this process because officers would throw them in jail over the paid off citations. Additionally, because the agreement with lawyers who worked on traffic citations was to keep the dismissed citation off the record, the state agency would put it back into records as convictions i.e., ruined original dispositions of case litigation. Now in the year 2025, Texas Department of Public Safety is again ruining case dispositions where Texas residents paid lawyers and surcharges for the purposes of amnesty, dismissal, and for the cases to not be displayed on drivers records by reopening dismissed cases or cases that were thrown out of courtrooms as insufficient.
