In New Mexico, the State requires all DWI offenders (even first time) to install an interlock device in their vehicle.  The device costs individuals around 1,000 dollars a year to maintain. 

However, those who are moving to New Mexico and already have a DWI conviction may have found a slight respite from the imposing law.  Some of these individuals are simply choosing to not update their license and are keeping their old license from the State they moved from.  This in essence keeps the New Mexico authorities from knowing that an interlock device should be installed.

New Mexico authorities have recently become aware of this trend and are working to impose stiff penalties for those who do not update their license within the 30 day requirement.
