Types of Driver License Suspensions in Texas

There are multiple reasons that your driver's license can get suspended in Texas. There are driving-related suspensions and non-driving-related suspensions.

Driving-related suspensions typically come from:

• DUI (Driving Under the Influence) violation

• Reckless Driving violation

• Driving without active auto insurance

• Failure to pay parking tickets

Other driving situations may result in a suspended license as well. For example, a first offense for driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol (DUI) requires that you complete the Administrative License Revocation (ALR) Program, and your driver's license will be suspended for a full two years. Texas can also suspend your driver's license if you get more than four traffic violations in 12 months or more than seven traffic violations within 24 months.

Non-driving related suspensions can result from:

• Vandalism

• Drug offenses

• Theft of gasoline

• Public Drunkenness

• Failure to renew your driver's license

Regardless of why your driver's license was suspended, you must follow the appropriate steps set up by the State of Texas Department of Public Safety to get it reinstated.

License Reinstatement Process

What you need to do to get your driver's license reinstated in Texas varies by the type of suspension you received and how severe the offense that caused the suspension is.

Once you have served the full term of your suspended license, you will have to pay a reinstatement fee, supply required items such as a financial responsibility filing called an SR-22 or other documentation, and complete a driver re-training course before your suspended license can be reinstated.

If You Are Caught Driving With a Suspended License?

If a Texas law enforcement agency officer catches you while your driving privileges are suspended in the State of Texas, you can face various consequences:
