Investigations

On July 23, 2019, Alonzo Blackman, a Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) employee, Fernando Guardado Vasquez, and Marino Maury Diaz Leon were indicted in U.S. District Court, San Antonio, Texas, for their involvement in a CDL scheme.

 

The indictment alleges that from January 2017, to or about June 30, 2019, Vazquez and Leon paid Blackman to falsely certify that CDL applicants passed the skills portion of the CDL test when those applicants had failed or had not taken the test. Blackman provided Vazquez and Leon with temporary CDLs for the applicants, and DPS later mailed permanent CDLs to the applicants.

 

DOT-OIG is conducting this investigation with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and DPS Texas Rangers Division.
