DPS Whistleblower Lawsuit May Move Forward

A federal judge ruled four DPS troopers once stationed in Nacogdoches and Center can have their Whistleblower’s lawsuit heard in federal court. The allegation is that their supervisor implemented a traffic stop quota system first in Center, TX and then in Nacogdoches. Whether made by a jury or a possible settlement, the outcome could influence the actions of DPS superiors and troopers statewide.
