Apologies if you know this or it came up already but you can get query logs of your DL#, plate#, VIN, or permit to carry # from DPS/DVS/BCA. They have to turn it over within 10 days of request. It will identify the agency who did it, with a timestamp, what they asked for, what they got in response.
