Brazoria County Occupational License Lawyer

How Do You Get an Occupational Driver's License in Texas?

Once your license has been suspended, you will need to receive a court order from the Texas Department of Public Safety. If the occupational license is granted, you will have to follow specific instructions and restrictions to avoid violations.

The court order will require a petition requesting an occupational license, the petition must include:

• What days and times you need to drive
• Where you need to drive
• Why you need to drive

What Happens if You Don't Adhere to the Restrictions of an Occupational DL?

Typically, an occupational license allows you to drive to and from work, to and from school, and to perform household obligations.

Failing to adhere to the following restrictions can lead to further charges, fines, and time in jail:

• Follow a specified route, driving on specific roads
• Only operating your vehicle for specific purposes
• Driving only a specific number of hours
• Driving only on set times or days
