Texas Department Public Safety v. Jack Leroy Miller

This is a drivers license suspension case. Pursuant to the provisions of Article 6687b, Sec. 22(a), V.A.C.S., as amended, the Texas Department of Public Safety caused Jack Leroy Miller to appear before a justice of the peace of Dallas County, Texas, for a hearing to determine whether Miller was an habitual traffic violator within the meaning of Article 6687b, Sec. 22(b), Par. 4, V.A.C.S. The justice of the peace made an affirmative finding, and the Texas Department of Public Safety suspended Millers drivers license for a period of six months. From this order Miller appealed to the County Court at Law No. 1, Dallas County, Texas, by authority of Article 6687b, Sec. 22(c), V.A.C.S. On this appeal Miller denied he was an habitual violator and prayed for restoration of his drivers license. As his defense Miller urged that he was not legally convicted in two of the causes relied upon by the Department.
