The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) has made an arrest in connection with a driver’s license scheme linked to a Chinese organized crime ring.

Late last year, DPS discovered it had sent thousands of fraudulently obtained duplicate driver’s licenses to addresses in New York, Oklahoma, and Georgia. The breach was made public during a budget hearing at the Capitol in Austin, Texas.
