Congratulations to the awesome Roma High School students who recently competed to showcase their skills at the Business Professionals of America Regional Competition in McAllen, earning spots at the State Competition in Fort Worth!! The Gladiator Nation is very proud of the hard work of these Mighty Gladiators who will go on to represent our district with pride later this year. Congrats also goes to their proud families and hard working instructors. Roma is cheering you on for state!

Secretary Scott Encourages Eligible Texans to Vote Early, Make a Plan to Cast a Ballot for the March 1 Primary Election Texas Secretary of State John Scott urged all eligible Texas voters to prepare to vote in the March 1 Primary Election by visiting www.votetexas. gov (available in Spanish) to learn how they can cast a ballot during the Early Voting period or on Election Day. The Early Voting period for the March 1 Primary Election begins Monday, February 14th and ends Friday, February 25th. The deadline for an Application for Ballot by Mail to be received by your county’s Early Voting Clerk is Friday, February 18th.

“As the first U.S. state to offer in-person Early Voting in 1988, Texas has a long and proud tradition of allowing voters to cast their ballot ahead of Election Day,” Secretary Scott said. “Starting February 14, registered Texas voters will have the opportunity to cast a ballot at any location in their county of residence, and I urge everyone who can to take advantage of the convenience of the early voting period to avoid crowds

on Election Day. It’s also easy to remember - you can get out and vote early starting on Valentine’s Day!” Registered and eligible voters may vote at ANY Early Voting location located in their county of residence. Early voting locations will be populated in the Texas Secretary of State’s “My Voter Portal” two days prior to the first day of early voting. Here, voters can enter their Name, County, Date of Birth and ZIP code to look up their registration information and find the nearest polling location.

For more information on specific hours and locations during the Early Voting period, voters can contact the Early Voting Clerk in their county of residence.

Learn more about voting in person, what’s allowed in the polling place, voting by mail and Early Voting in Texas at www. votetexas.gov.

DPS Reminds CDL Applicants about Entry Level Driver Training The Texas Department of applicants for a commercial endorsements that the Entry requirements begin Feb. 7, 2022.

Public Safety (DPS) is reminding driver license (CDL) or certain Level Driver Training (ELDT) Recent inclement weather has closed some driver license offices; however, the federal requirement has not been delayed as a result of these closures.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) oversees the ELDT regulations, which are designed to improve highway safety by ensuring entry level drivers of commercial motor vehicles complete minimum federal training requirements before being permitted to take certain CDL tests.

Anyone who is either applying for a Class A or Class B CDL for the first time, upgrading an existing CDL to a Class A or B, or obtaining a school bus (S), passenger (P) or hazardous materials (H) endorsement for the first time must meet ELDT requirements. Each state must electronically verify that an

applicant completed the required training and certification process before administering a CDL skills test or prior to the knowledge test for an ‘H’ endorsement.

Commercial driving schools can become an approved ELDT provider by registering with FMCSA through its Training Provider Registry (TPR).

For more information about how the federal program works, how to become a certified Training Registry Provider and what schools are registered to provide ELDT training, visit the TPR site.

Customers wishing to obtain or upgrade to a CDL will need to book an appointment. To schedule an appointment or check availability, visit the online appointment scheduler. You must make an appointment online. Upon arrival at the driver license office, customers can check-in at the kiosk inside or from their mobile

device. A reminder, customers can only check-in up to 30 minutes prior to their appointment time.

The department reminds customers who have existing appointments, but will not be able to keep them, to please cancel as soon as they are able. While the department is working to serve as many customers as possible, people not showing up for their appointments continues to be a major obstacle. The current noshow rate for appointments is 28%, which negatively impacts our ability to get Texans the services they need.

Driver license offices will remain open Monday through Friday during normal operating hours to assist customers with both commercial and non-commercial driver license needs. Appointments may be booked up to six months in advance for a specific day and time.
