Scam Alert: Fraudulent “DPS Citation Notice” Circulating in Texas

Pat Trevino | March 17, 2026

A new scam is making the rounds across Texas, targeting residents with alarming emails and text messages claiming to be from the Texas Department of Public Safety. The message warns of an unpaid citation and threatens driver’s license holds, registration denials, and additional fees unless the recipient clicks a link and pays immediately.

Local officials stress that DPS does not send text messages or emails about unpaid tickets, and any message of this kind should be deleted, blocked, and reported. To help the public recognize the scam, the full text of the fraudulent message is included below.

Full Scam Message Being Circulated

SCAM ALERT
The below is an email/text message from Scammers that is going around. It is completely bogus. It is being shown here in its entirety so you will recognize it if you receive it. DO NOT RESPOND OR CLICK ANY LINKS!!!

Texas Department of Public Safety – Driver License Division
Administrative Review of Driving Record

An administrative review of your Texas driving record shows an outstanding citation that remains unpaid.

Under Texas Transportation Code Chapter 706 (Failure to Appear / Failure to Pay Program) and related provisions, the following enforcement actions will be applied unless the violation is resolved by March 17, 2026:

  1. Driving Record Notation
    The unpaid citation and failure to appear/pay will be reported to the Texas Department of Public Safety and permanently noted on your driving record, which may affect future insurance premiums, employment background checks, and CDL qualifications.
  2. Vehicle Registration Denial
    Your Texas vehicle registration renewal may be denied. You will be unable to renew or obtain new registration for any vehicle registered in your name until the matter is cleared.
  3. Driver License Renewal Denial
    Your Texas driver license will not be eligible for renewal. If your current license expires after the hold is placed, you will be unable to renew it and your driving privileges in Texas may become invalid. This action may also be reported through the Nonresident Violator Compact (NRVC) to other participating states.
  4. Additional Fees
    The following costs will apply in addition to the original fine:
    • $10 Failure to Appear / Failure to Pay Program fee (per Texas Transportation Code § 706.006)
    • Possible court-specified late fees
    • DPS reinstatement fee (currently $100 for most license-related holds)
    • Any applicable OmniBase administrative processing fees
  5. Further Collection & Court Action
    The unpaid amount may be referred to a collections agency. The issuing court may issue a warrant for Failure to Appear or Failure to Pay, and the debt may be reported to credit bureaus.

Action Required
This is a final notice before enforcement actions take effect. Resolve the citation by March 17, 2026 to prevent these restrictions.

The fastest way to clear this hold is to contact the court that issued the citation directly or use the official Texas Failure to Appear website.

Check status and make payment: (Fraudulent Link Removed)

Taking care of this today is the fastest way to stop tomorrow’s suspensions and halt additional collection activity.

As mentioned above, Scammers are constantly trying to victimize people, and this is just one of the hundreds of methods they employ. DPS does not send out emails or text messages about unpaid tickets. Block and report the junk. Share this info with friends and family.

The festival has long served as both a fundraiser and a community homecoming, drawing parishioners, neighbors, and visitors from across DeWitt County. This year’s event promises the same welcoming spirit with a lineup of activities designed for all ages.

At the heart of the festival is the roast beef dinner, served dine‑in or to‑go for $15 per plate. The meal includes all the traditional trimmings and is expected to be one of the day’s biggest draws, as it has been for decades.

Beyond the food, guests can enjoy live music, a lively auction, and a variety of classic festival attractions. A silent auction, bingo, cake walk, country store, and raffle will run throughout the day, offering plenty of chances to win prizes or pick up homemade goods. Children and families can look forward to the carnival, which adds an extra layer of excitement to the event.

The public is invited to mark their calendars, gather friends and family, and enjoy a day of fellowship at St. Michael’s Spring Festival.
