You are not required to notify the Department of Public Safety of an arrest or conviction. But they will suspend your license if the license holder: - is charged with the commission of a Class A or Class B misdemeanor or equivalent offense, or of an offense under Section 42.01, Penal Code, or equivalent offense, or of a felony under an information or indictment; - fails to notify the department of a change of address, name, or status as required by Section 411.181; - commits an act of family violence and is the subject of an active protective order rendered under Title 4, Family Code; or - is arrested for an offense involving family violence or an offense under Section 42.072, Penal Code, and is the subject of an order for emergency protection issued under Article 17.292, Code of Criminal Procedure. If your license is suspended, you will get a notice in the mail about the suspension. You must then surrender the license within ten days of receiving the notice unless it has already been surrendered or seized as evidence or request a hearing from the department.
