What We
Provide
Commitment
The Failure to Appear Program was authorized
by the Texas Legislature in 1995 and the Texas Department of Public Safety was
assigned responsibility for the administration of the program. OmniBase responded
to the Request for Proposal and was selected by TDPS as the initial vendor for
the program in 1996. Accordingly, OmniBase is the only
company to administer the FTA program and has been included in each of the enhancements
to the program since it was first authorized.
Experience
OmniBase Services of Texas maintains and administers the central
database for the cities and counties contracted to use the Department of Public Safety's Failure to Appear
Program. The FTA program as authorized by Chapter 706 of the Texas Transportation Code, provides an
effective collection and enforcement tool by restricting the violator's ability to renew their driver license for
outstanding violations. OmniBase Services of Texas is VID # 176047826601 in the Catalog Information
Systems Vendor Program (CISV).
