Your first step to obtain an occupational driver license in Texas is going to be to start getting insurance quotes for an SR insurance policy. We tell clients to simply get the cheapest policy you can find, because they are all the same on paper.
Once you obtain the policy, you can then begin to draft the documents necessary to request the occupational driver license. It is important to determine the reason for your driver license suspension in advance. There are two ways to do this. First, you can do a driver license eligibility check on your license to determine the suspension reason. This ensures that you actually need an occupational driver license. Many times, our occupational driver license lawyers consult with clients who find that they do not actually need an occupational driver license.
If the driver license eligibility page states another way to fix the suspension action, then we normally suggest the alternative route.
The second way to determine the suspension reason is to pull an official driving record from The Texas Department Of Public Safety. An occupational driver license authorizes you to operate a non-commercial motor vehicle only in connection with:. You must petition the Justice of the Peace, county or district court where you currently reside, or to the court of original jurisdiction where the offense has occurred, to obtain an occupational driver license.
An example of an occupational driver license petition is available for free from the Travis County Law Library. Due to varying requirements for each court, please consult the court with which you intend to file a petition for an occupational driver license to determine if the petition on the Travis County Law Library website is acceptable. Upon reviewing your petition, if the court determines you are eligible to apply for an occupational driver license, you will be provided with a signed court order.
This court order is not the occupational driver license. You must submit the court order to the Department along with the other necessary documentation for the issuance of an occupational driver license. The court order and all required items must be submitted to DPS before an occupational license will be issued. The court order may be used as a driver license for 45 days from the date of the judge's signature while the request for an occupational license is processed. All required documents, including all fees should be submitted in one envelope to the mailing address below for processing.
You must write your full name, date of birth and driver license number on each document submitted. If you have your suspension notice, please include a copy so your driver record can be identified. Please allow 21 business days for processing. If you have never had a Texas driver license or your driver license has been expired for more than two 2 years, you will be required to retest.
If your driver license was expired for over two 2 years at the time your occupational license was issued and you did not take a road test prior to obtaining the occupational license, then you will be required to retest. Otherwise, you will be able to request a duplicate license without retesting.
