[End of Statute]
Note: I am sometimes asked, "If I change my address, do I have to notify DPS?" The answer is you have 30 days, otherwise if stopped, the officer can issue you a Class C citation. (Of course, if you are polite, which is always a good policy, you might just be issued a warning.)
Also, there are practical reasons why it's a good idea to keep DPS updated.
