Thanks for responding to this call-to-action; it made a tremendous difference. I have good information that the above-referenced numbers were buried in phone calls, primarily from Texas. NM has clearly backed down and I think the ultimate result will be that Texas reciprocity will remain in place. It may be that an age limit (21 yrs) and U.S. Citizen requirement will be added, but reciprocity likely will not be cancelled.

The six point criteria arbitrarily chosen by New Mexico DPS as audit points are still on the NM website and apparently will remain the measuring stick. These audit points aren't found in the NM statute; they are the creation of the NM DPS. If they remain in place, they could be a problem in the future. I suspect they they will be abandoned quietly after the face-saving phase is over.

At this point, we need not make anymore calls or send more emails. Thanks again for all of your efforts folks.

Please see the call-to-action I posted in a separate thread. If we want reciprocity with New Mexico, it's going to be up to Texans to get the job done. It's highly unlikely that it will be fixed in the New Mexico Legislature.
