Driver Record Information
Moving violations appear on a Type 2 driver record for a period of 3 years only. All moving and non-moving violations appear on a Type 3 driver record for a period of 15 years with the exception of serious offenses. Example: DWI and No Liability Insurance remain on the record indefinitely. Out-of-state convictions will appear on the driver record.

All crashes that are investigated by a police officer are recorded on the individual’s driver record. The driver record does not indicate fault on the part of the individual but shows the date and location of crash. Please contact the Texas Department of Transportation at www.txdot.state.tx.us if you have questions concerning a crash that appears on your driver record.

Bulk Driver Records
With an approved contract with the Department, vendors may obtain large volumes of driver records. Please contact the Driver Record Bureau at e.commerce@dps.texas.gov to obtain a copy of the contract required for online transactions.
