Driver License Suspension Reasons In Texas

• Crash Suspension:  When DPS receives notice an individual has been involved in a crash which resulted in an injury, death or property damages of at least $1,000, the uninsured driver is subject to a driver license suspension.
• Driving While License is Invalid (DWLI):  Individuals who drive a motor vehicle while their driver license is suspended, revoked, denied or cancelled are subject to an additional suspension for the same period of time as the original suspension.
• Alcohol-Related Offenses:  

  An “adult” is any individual who is 21 years of age and older.  Adults who are convicted of DWI might:

  1. Be required to attend an Alcohol Education Program, 12-hour Intervention Program for regular DWI or 32-hour DWI repeat offenders
  2. Have their driver license suspended for a period not to exceed two years (for first-time offenses), or
  3. Receive probation.
     1. If granted probation, the individual will be required to complete a 12-hour class in an authorized Alcohol Education Program unless the requirement is waived by the presiding judge.
