Texas to Create Driver’s License Checkpoints?

The Houston Chronicle reports that the state of Texas is considering statewide driver’s license checkpoints, part of what several lawmakers have suggested is a plan to crack down on undocumented immigrants. Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott has been asked to issue an opinion on the legality of driver’s license checkpoints. Staffed by state troopers or local police, the checkpoints would stop drivers to review their licenses, vehicle registrations and proof of insurance.
