The Dallas Morning News reports that the Department of Public Safety is offering an amnesty program for those in arrears on surcharges they owe on their driver’s license from DWI convictions and/or other violations such as no insurance.  You can read about the amnesty program here.

Unlike a sale at your local department store — there is no guarantee that after the deadline (April 17, 2011), people will have a second chance to save money on paying back fees.  If you’re in arrears on surcharges on your Texas Driver’s license, you should seriously look in to applying immediately.
