Driver's License Suspensions
|
|
Driving is a privilege in Texas, not a right. Unless you obey traffic laws and maintain an appropriate driving record, the State has the authority to suspend your driver’s license. Continuing to drive while your license is suspended can be a serious offense. If the suspension is related to a conviction for driving while intoxicated, you could go to jail for as long as 180 days and be ordered to pay a fine of as much as $2,000. Former Travis County prosecutor Rick Cofer can help by fighting to avoid a suspension of your driver’s license or by defending you in court against a charge of driving while suspended.
Types of Driver’s License Suspensions
The loss of your driving privileges may occur for a number of reasons, but some of the most common reasons include:
Occupational Driver’s License (ODL)
Getting to and from work can be difficult in Travis County when you cannot drive because of a suspended driver’s license. Rick Cofer reviews the basis for suspension of your license and will help you to obtain an occupational driver’s license if you are eligible. An ODL permits you to drive to and from work, school-related activities and to perform essential household duties, such as going food shopping or to a doctor’s appointment.
Driver’s License Reinstatement
Contacting Rick Cofer before your driver’s license is suspended gives him the opportunity to fight to prevent it through an administrative hearing. Depending upon the reason for the suspension, he might be able to contest it through a court proceeding or by taking other steps to help get your license reinstated.
