Tickets received on military bases may or may not be placed on your state driver's license since military bases are not public property and state laws differ. However if your friend's licensing state places out of state moving violations as well as convictions of traffic offenses received on military bases or other federal lands, such as a National Park, on their driving record then it will be according to that state's laws.

As the issuing entity of the driver's license a state has the right to determine what type of infractions and violations they will put on a person's driving record. The driving record is one way in which a state keeps tabs on a person and makes sure that they are not a habitual offender of breaking the rules of the road and driving in a way which would require the state's Department of Motor Vehicles to take action, such as suspending or revoking, the person's driving privileges.

For example Texas Transportation Code Section 521.292 notes that a driver is considered a "habitual violator" if the person has four or more convictions that arise out of different transactions in 12 consecutive months, or seven or more convictions that arise out of different transactions in 24 months, if the convictions are for moving violations of the traffic laws of any state, Canadian province, or political subdivision.

As for district court, we looked up what this entails and found the site for the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas. According to this site the El Paso Division manages violation notices issued by the federal agencies located at Ft. Bliss, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the National Park Service.

This District Court, which is still a federal court it appears, states that a standard violation notice (or citation or ticket) is issued to an individual by federal law enforcement officers for violations of certain federal laws and, if occurring on federal property, certain state laws. Violations charged include improper parking, illegal camping, speeding, civil disturbances, fish and wildlife infractions, and other minor offenses.

Furthermore, after a violation notice has been issued to a driver, the original violation notice is mailed by the federal law enforcement agency to the national Central Violations Bureau (CVB) for processing. CVB receives all original violation notices from the issuing agency for entry into a database. CVB mails a notice to appear in court to the defendant four (4) weeks prior to his/her court date. If a defendant pays the CVB the citation amount as indicated on the violation notice before the court date, the case is then closed.

Alternatively, citations designated as mandatory appearance by the issuing officer require that the defendant appear before a U. S. Magistrate Judge at the date, time and place indicated in the notice to appear. If a defendant does not appear, a warrant of arrest may be issued by the U. S. Magistrate Judge.

Your friend can contact the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) to get more information on if this ticket that was received on a military base will be placed on his Texas driving record.
