Fort Worth License Suspension Lawyer

Tarrant County License Suspension Attorney Serving Texas

Getting around the state of Texas can be tremendously challenging when you are unable to drive yourself due to a suspended license. Suddenly having to stop driving can have a major impact on your life, especially if you commute to work or school or are responsible for driving your children around. In Texas, there are a large number of reasons residents may be hit with a license suspension, ranging from a DWI to getting behind on child support.

If a license suspension is wreaking havoc on your life, The Dameron Law Firm may be able to help. There are options in Texas for appealing suspensions or for obtaining what is called an "occupational license," which grants limited driving privileges for necessary purposes. Depending on why your license was suspended in the first place, there may be a way for an experienced attorney to get you back on the road faster.

Why Do Tarrant County Residents Have Their Licenses Suspended?

While driver's license suspensions are often the result of a traffic offense, the state of Texas may suspend a person's driving privileges for a wide range of reasons. Common explanations for why your driver's license may be suspended include:

• Child Support - Falling far enough behind on child support payments can trigger a license suspension.
• Traffic Violations - Four moving violations in a one-year period or seven moving violations in a two-year period will result in an immediate suspension of driving privileges.
• DWI - A conviction for intoxicated driving could result in up to two years without a license. Even refusing field sobriety tests can lead to an administrative suspension.
• Underage Drinking - Those under 21 years old accused of any alcohol-related offense can lose their licenses temporarily.
• Other Offenses - Texas is somewhat unique in that it will often suspend the driving privileges of people convicted of certain other offenses, like drug possession or even vandalism.

Fort Worth Lawyer for Occupational License Help

Even if you are not eligible for full reinstatement, Texas offers occupational driver's licenses to certain residents who have had their licenses suspended. An occupational license allows you to drive for limited, specific, and necessary reasons. This typically includes going to work or school and performing essential household functions, like grocery shopping or driving your children to school.

Not everyone is eligible for an occupational license. The Dameron Law Firm will conduct a complete review of your case and circumstances so that we can do everything in our power to make a case for you to get back to driving. The first step in this process is to seek a court order. You will want to be represented by counsel during this process, as courts may be reluctant to grant these orders if any safety concerns are present.

Attorney for the License Suspension Appeals Process

Certain Texas drivers who are faced with Administrative License Suspension or Revocation may be able to appeal if they do so quickly enough. There is a very limited window of time after you learn that you have been subjected to such a suspension or revocation in which you can request a hearing and make a case for saving your driving privileges. Typically, you will have only 15 days to do this, so it is important that you call us as soon as you know you are facing an administrative suspension.
