What information must a court report to the DPS when a defendant is convicted of an alcoholic beverage code offense?

The correct choice refers to the necessary information required by the Department of Public Safety (DPS) regarding the conviction of a defendant for an alcoholic beverage code offense. When a court reports this information, it must include not only the details of the conviction itself—such as the type of offense and the sentence imposed—but also any orders related to the suspension of the defendant's license. This is crucial, as violations of the alcoholic beverage code can have direct implications on a person's driving privileges, hence the importance of relaying this information to the appropriate authorities.

Ensuring that the DPS receives comprehensive information about such convictions, particularly around license suspensions, helps maintain enforcement standards and provides a clear record for any future incidences or legal considerations involving the defendant. This systematic reporting supports regulatory compliance regarding alcohol-related offenses and the broader public safety objectives involved.
