Where to File For An Occupational Driver License in Dallas

One of the biggest issues people will encounter when trying to determine the steps to properly file for an occupational driver’s license in Dallas is where to actually file the petition? 

This question cannot be answered properly without first determining the reason for the suspension.  The suspension reason is the main factor that establishes the jurisdiction of a particular court to hear an occupational driver’s license request.  For that reason, it is a good idea to consult a lawyer that can do a driver’s license eligibility search for you to determine the proper court to file your occupational driver license petition.  In most cases, you will be limited to either a justice of the peace court in the county where you reside or a district or county court where the conviction occurred that caused your license to be suspended.  If you file in the wrong court, then your request will be denied.  This is why it is important to get this step right the first time.  Take some time to call a legal professional about where to file your occupational driver’s license request.  It could save you valuable time and money.
