Urgent Need for a Texas Department of Public Safety website dedicated to citing names of all persons convicted of illicit-drug-trafficking

One of my hopes of the Texas Legislature that convenes in January 2011 is that our state's governing body will approve a new law requiring the Texas Department of Public Safety state agency to establish a new type of official DPS online website and data base.

That new law would be accompanied by very generous financing from the Texas Legislature of that proposed ongoing and permanent new public service by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS).

The proposed new online DPS website and data base would exclusively contain all the names, including cited "aliases," and the cited mailing addresses of each and every legal-status adult person who has been convicted of illicit-drug trafficking anywhere inside the state of Texas at any time since 1970. "Hall of Infamy: a Roll Call of the Convicted Drug Dealers of Texas," as that special new DPS website and data base might be entitled.

That website and data base would contribute mightily toward helping to deter illicit-drug activities throughout our entire state. For instance, parents throughout Texas could consult that official online DPS data base to remind themselves of which convicted felons those Texan parents would NOT permit their offspring to ever associate with.
