AUSTIN — The state shipped thousands of Texas driver licenses to an international organized crime group in a security lapse that is still under investigation, Department of Public Safety Chief Steve McCraw said Monday.
The agency is working with federal agencies, McCraw said, and the investigation spans at least four states, and other states have also been similarly targeted. It’s not clear when the investigation will be completed. “The number one thing we have as a government agency, as government folks, is trust. And when we lose that trust by not thinking through, it’s difficult to rebuild that trust with the people,” the El Paso Democrat said, adding that the agency needed to be shepherding affected Texans through ensuring their identities are protected.
