What action does DPS take on the second conviction report for theft of gasoline?

• A. Suspend the driver's license
• B. Revoke the license permanently
• C. Send a warning letter
• D. Notify the employer

Answer: (A)

Escalating license action for repeat offenses is the idea here. When someone is convicted a second time for theft of gasoline, the licensing authority typically suspends the driver's license to restrict driving privileges and protect the public. A suspension signals serious consequences for repeated misuse of driving privileges and can be reinstated later once requirements like penalties, restitution, or compliance steps are met. Permanent revocation is usually reserved for more severe or specific offenses, so it’s not the standard result of a second theft conviction. A warning letter or notifying the employer don’t directly address the driver’s license status, which is the formal action the agency uses to enforce consequences and maintain safety.
