Texas Driving Records Request Information
Maintaining the driving records of all Texas residents with a driver’s license is the responsibility of Texas Department of Public Safety. The Texas driving record maintained by the Texas DPS includes your driving history such as:
- Time and date of license issuance
- Traffic accidents
- Traffic violations
- Suspensions or revocations
- Major violations
- DUI reports
As your driving history is a public record, people other than you can view it. Those permitted to make a request for and view your Texas driving records include:
- Potential employers
- Insurance companies
- Government, legal or law enforcement agencies
You can make Texas Driving Records Request for four different categories. These include:
Status record:
The status record includes:
- Your personal information such as your DOB and mailing address

The certified 3-year record includes everything that is part of 3-year record with one obvious difference—the certified 3-year record is a certified driving record.
