Driver's License Reinstatement
If your Texas driver’s license is suspended for an alcohol related arrest, you may petition the Court of your county of residence, or the county of offense, for an Occupational Driver’s
License or “ODL.” This document will allow you to drive for essential needs like work, school and household duties, despite your license suspension.
Obtaining Occupational Driver's Licenses (ODLs)
In order to obtain an ODL, you must file a properly completed application, as well as several other documents, with the Texas Department of Public Safety. Special proof of insurance is also
required. This paperwork must be approved by a Judge prior to submission. For most ODLs, the law allows a minimum of four hours up to a maximum of twelve hours a day in which to drive, depending
upon the individual need shown to the Court.
If you are like most people, your driving privileges are crucial to maintaining your employment, education and lifestyle. Considering the availability of this option, there is no need to
jeopardize your future by driving on a suspended license and risking additional criminal charges.
Our office can help you with the details of your particular situation and answer any and all questions you may have regarding your driving privileges. We will make sure that all the proper
steps have been taken to obtain your ODL in the shortest amount of time possible, and explain how to use it properly once it is received. Additionally, we can guide you through the steps
required to reinstate your original license once your suspension period is over.
