Title
Consider and take action on a resolution authorizing an interlocal agreement with the Texas Department of Public Safety regarding the “Failure to Appear” program for the League City Municipal Court of Record (Director of Finance)
Background:
This interlocal agreement will implement the provisions of the Texas Transportation Code, Chapter 706 (Denial of Renewal of License for Failure to Appear). Through this program, a person's driver license renewal may be denied if he or she fails to appear in court or fails to pay a court fine.
The Texas Department of Public Safety ("DPS") contracts with a private vendor to establish and maintain an automated system whereby information regarding court violators may be stored and accessed by DPS. The City will then file Failure to Appear ("FTA") reports with this private vendor. Using this automated system, DPS may deny the renewal of a driver license of a person who is the subject of a FTA system entry.
