Which chapter addresses contracting with the Department of Public Safety to deny renewal of a driver's license due to failure to appear or pay?

• A. Chapter 705
• B. Chapter 707
• C. Chapter 708
• D. Chapter 706

Answer: (D)

The key idea here is recognizing which chapter governs license actions by the Department of Public Safety when a driver’s renewal is denied for not appearing in court or failing to pay fines. The best choice is the chapter that specifically covers driver licensing actions tied to noncompliance, including suspensions or denials of renewal for failure to appear or pay. This chapter provides the rules, notices, hearings, and procedures for how DPS enforces these obligations, which is exactly what this scenario describes. The other chapters focus on different aspects of licensing or different penalties and do not directly address the mechanism of denying renewal due to nonappearance or nonpayment.
