has your Texas license been suspended?

     The Law Office of J. Chance Smith understands that we all live in Texas and public transportation is not readily available.  You NEED to be able to drive.

  2. Copy of your current DL or ID card
  3. Completed Paperwork from our Office
  4. Payment of Legal Fees and Filing Fees

 qualifying reasons for an odl

1.  Employment Needs - Driving to and from work
 2.  Educational Purposes - Driving to and from school
 3.  Essential Household Duties - groceries, etc.

Consequences of driving

Driving on a suspended, invalid, or revoked license can have serious consequences, some are as follows:
  1.  Citation w/ max fine of $500.00
  2. Suspension of DL (DWLI citation caries Two Yr Suspension)
  3. Jail Time (2nd DWLI is a Class B Misdemeanor)

The Process:

The reason your license was revoked or suspended will determine the amount of time it takes to get an occupational filed and completed.  On average the process will take anywhere from 15 to 30 days.
