In a piece by Gordon Dickson of the Ft. Worth (TX) Star Telegram, he reports:

“In light of the recent Sherman bus crash that killed 17 people, a review of Texas charter bus companies reveals that they often continue to operate under a new name when their authorizations are revoked. At the time of the accident, the owner of the bus in the Sherman crash was operating under a different name after being closed due to safety violations. A total of 201 companies had their authorizations revoked by the state over the last 24 months.”
