TEXAS LEGISLATURE
A law that affects more persons
possibly than any other passed by
the la-t session of the legislature and
which is now in effect, is the new
Driver's License law. If this law is
rigidly enforced—and it is assumed
it will be—Texas highways should
become increasingly safer from now
on for it ha> far-reaching and wide
spread ptovisions:
License Renewal
Di ivers of automobiles in this
State at the present time are sup-
posed to have licenses. and the new
law provides for the renewal of these
licenses without examination, if the
owners are qualified. Licensee num-
bered 1 to 450,000 expire December
31, 1941, and are to be renewed Oct-
ober 1, 1941; those numbered 450,-
001 to 000,000 expire March 31, 1942,
and are to be renewed January 1,
1942; those numbered 900,0001 to i,.
350,000 expire June 30, 1942, and are
to be renewed April 4, 1942; and those
numbered above 1,350,000 expire on
November 1, 1942, and art to be re-
newed July 1, 1942. Owners who neg.
lect the renewal of their licenses on
time will be required to stand ex-
aminations before they are isMiel
new license?.
No Licenses Granted
No licenses will be granted to any
person under fourteen years of ag*.,
and no commercial or chauffeur's lic-
ense will be granted to any person
under sixteen years of age, but a
youth between these two a^es may be
authorized by the county judge to
apply for an individual operator's lic-
ense. No license will be granted to
any person whose licenst is suspend-
ed or revoked; and likewise no licen. e
will be issued to any person who is t*
habitual drunkard or narcotic addict.
who has been adjudged insane and
who has not been judicially restored
or released; who has an incapacitat-
ing physical or mental disability;
who is unable to understand highway
signs written in English; and any
person whose driving is inimical to
safety.
Qualified Holders
Drivers not coming under those
bans—and that inimical to safety
provisions has a formidable elasticity
about it—may, of course, make
sworn applications for license-. An
applicant who is under eighteen years
of age, however, must have his ap-
plication signed by parent, employer-,
guardian, or county judge", and h**
license so obtained can be revoked u[
on the request of the signer. Appli-
cant's examination, which must be
held not more than ten days from
application in county of residence,
will cover vision, understanding of
signs in English, knowledge of trai*
fie laws, and mental and physical fit-
ness. The license issued must be num-
be'ed, musi show age and residence,
must give a brief deception of the
holder, and must be signed by the
holder, or licensee. The license must
be carried at all times and must be
exhibited on demand, or in court.
And the licensee mus. notify the I)e.
partment of Publicity Safety of any
change of address or name.
Under the new law. a driver may
have his license suspended if he has
committer) an offense for which au-
tomatic suspension of license is re-
quired upon conviction; if he has
been responsible as a driver for any
accident resulting in the death or
personal injury of another person, or
serious property damage; and if he
is a habitually reckless or negligent
driver. Mis license may be suspended
too, if he is a habitual violator ot
traffic laws, if he is incapable of
driving, if he has permitted unlaw-
ful or fraudulent use of his license,
and if he has failed or refused '
submit a report of any accident
which he was involved. And sigi11"
cantly, he is also liable to suspensr
of his license if he commits in ar
other State an offense that would In-
sufficient grounds in Texas f r sus-
pension or revocation. And just ;n
case any Texan may have thought of
\i as an es<~ape mechanism, he cannot
operate his automobile in his horn*
State under a foreign license, if hi-
own license has been suspended. H<
is, as the ol<! timer.-. say. caught
"goin' and comin'."
Automatic Suspension
Under the new regulations, the li-
cense of any driver shall be automa-
tically suspended upon final convic-
tion of any of the following offenses;
Negligent homicide resulting from
the operation of a mot;,or vehicle;
driving a motor vehicle while undei
