Who Writes the Tickets in Alamo Heights

The Lytle Police Department and the Schertz Police Department are each listed by the FBI across several counties including Bexar County, so their arrests are not broken out for Bexar County here.
The Driving Record and the Texas Department of Public Safety
The driving record is a separate document from the court file. It is kept by the Texas Department of Public Safety, which adds each conviction the court reports and handles suspensions; the court does not issue driving records.
Paying a ticket is a conviction, reported to the Texas Department of Public Safety like any other; contesting it means a plea of not guilty entered with the court by the date on the ticket.
A DWI is a criminal charge rather than a ticket, with its own license case before the Department of Public Safety (see Alamo Heights DUI).
