The court must notify DPS of convictions for city ordinance traffic offenses.

• A. Not applicable
• B. Only for CMV
• C. True
• D. False

Answer: (C)

When a conviction is entered for a traffic-related matter, the driving-record system relies on the court to report that disposition to the Department of Public Safety. City ordinance traffic offenses are still traffic violations that can affect driving privileges, so the court must notify DPS so the driver’s record can be updated and any applicable points, suspensions, or penalties can be applied. This ensures the licensing authority has a complete, accurate history across jurisdictions, which is essential for enforcing driving privileges and public safety. Because this duty applies to city ordinance traffic offenses as well, the statement is true. It’s not limited to commercial motor vehicles, and it isn’t not applicable or false.
