Texas Department of Public Safety

LGBTQ rights advocates targeted the Department of Public Safety with dozens of messages after the agency announced a new policy that blocks transgender Texans from changing the sex listed on their driver's licenses.

By all accounts the Uvalde school massacre was a failure of law enforcement to protect the lives of children. But you wouldn’t know that by looking at the lack of accountability at the Texas Department of Public Safety. Director Steve McCraw didn’t have to resign. In fact, he got a big raise after the shooting. How is it that the DPS has dodged responsibility for its failures in Uvalde?

Department of Public Safety Director Steve McCraw said he made the decision after the Uvalde district attorney found no criminal wrongdoing and asked that Ranger Chris Kindell be allowed to return to his job.

Public safety officials earlier this week identified the deceased person as 78-year-old Bobby Huff. Two victims remain in critical condition, according to the department on Thursday.

Clenard Parker, a 42-year-old resident of Chappell Hill, is suspected of stealing the vehicle a day after his application for a commercial driver's license was denied.

While family members of those killed in the 2022 Robb Elementary School shooting say they’re grateful for the Justice Department’s report, many wish it had done more — like identifying all the officers who responded to the incident.

The Justice Department's critical incident review comes more than a year and a half after the gunman killed 19 children and two teachers at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas.

Allegations brought earlier this year stated Texas Department of Public Safety troopers deprived migrants of water and medical assistance along the state’s border with Mexico. Thursday DPS released a report showing their internal investigation found no wrongdoing.

An upgrade of the driver license system at the Texas Department of Public Safety began over the Labor Day weekend and canceled in-person and online services Sept. 5-8.

The Texas Department of Public Safety reported the system outage began on Aug. 29 and was ongoing. It impacted stations at so-called 'safety-only' counties from conducting proper inspections.
