HOUSTON — A Harris
County grand jury has indicted
two former Texas Department
of Public Safety troopers on
bribery charges accusing the
pair of issuing driver’s licenses
to illegal aliens.
Alfredo Garcia, 28, of San
Antonio, and Gilbert Candelar
ia, 28, of Houston, were charged
with bribery for allegedly
accepting $100 in return for
issuing licenses to illegal aliens.
Investigators said about 35 illeg
al aliens bought licenses.
Prosecutor Terry Wilson said
both men resigned from the
DPS in July 1981 during an in
ternal investigation of their acti
vities.
Wilson claimed the illegal
aliens were granted the licenses
without taking written tests and
in some cases, without taking the
actual driving test.
The alleged middleman of
the scheme, Francisco Nava of
Houston, was indicted on brib
ery charges several weeks ago,
Wilson said.
Nava was accused of charging
each applicant $150 and keep
ing $50 as his fee, Wilson said.
An internal DPS probe into
the illegal licensing scheme be
gan in March 1981, when an
illegal alien working as a Hous
ton painter told another trooper
that licenses could be obtained
in exchange for a bribe, officials
said.
When Garcia and Candelaria
and other employees at the
Pasadena DPS licensing station
were questioned, they refused to
cooperate and resigned, Wilson
said.
Wilson said statements given
by Nava, following his arrest on
a traffic warrant, provided au
thorities with the information
necessary to indict Garcia and
Candelaria. If convicted of the
bribery charge, each man could
be sentenced to a maximum of
10 years in prison and a $5,000
fine.
