Contract - Texas Department of Public Safety - 2/12/2026 INTERLOCAL COOPERATION CONTRACT
I. CONTRACTING PARTIES AND AUTHORITY
Th Depart ent of Public Safety(DPS) and the �(��(�� �Q,l Court of
Min f1L,1` [City or County] are contracting under the authority of Texas
Government Code Chapter 791 (the Interlocal Cooperation Act).
DPS certifies that it has the authority to contract for the Texas Conviction Reporting (TXCR) application
by the authority granted in Tex.Transp. Code Chapter 543, Subchapter C.
II. BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
DPS is legislatively required to apply all court-reported convictions to a driver record within seven days
of the final disposition of conviction. Texas courts send more than 180,000 conviction records monthly.
To secure personally identifiable information (PII) of drivers who are convicted in Texas courts, DPS
developed a secure web-based application for Texas courts to submit electronic convictions onto a Texas
driver's record and eliminate mailed or unsecured upload of conviction records.
Furthermore, DPS and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's (FMCSA) common goal is to ensure
and improve public safety by reducing crashes, injuries, and fatalities involving Commercial Motor
Vehicles (CMV). One of the components of this effort is the appropriate and timely reporting of moving
violation convictions for Commercial Driver License (CDL) holders and operators of CMVs. For DPS to be
successful in its endeavor to bolster the foundation and support the priorities of the CDL program, it
must have the proper tools to accomplish these goals.
III. STATEMENT OF SERVICES
DPS responsibilities are as follows.
• Provide access to the TXCR over the internet from a publicly accessible site based on
authorized access granted by DPS to Court reporting personnel.
• Ensure the TXCR site is secure and meets Criminal Justice Information System (CJIS)
security requirements as defined by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
• Allow submission of convictions individually using a web-form that matches the bulk file
format for ease of entry. Bulk file format will be provided to Court.
• TXCR will validate conviction data prior to inclusion to the driver's record and if data
cannot be validated, will reject the submission with an opportunity for Court to correct
and resubmit.
• Provide historical reports for Court to assist with timely reporting, reducing rejects and
ensuring accuracy of conviction reporting.
• Provide training to Court, and include training materials and procedures on the TXCR
site for 24/7 access by Court.
• TXCR Contractor will assist Court users by providing a toll-free telephone number and
email, Monday through Friday from 7:00am to 8:00pm, except holidays.
