If you drive a vehicle while your license was revoked, suspended, denied or cancelled you are technically driving when you should not have been. Because your license was invalid at the time the police officer stopped you, if a citation of any kind was issued and becomes a conviction on your record, then DPS will be notified of that conviction. This means that they can take a suspension action against you. For more information on how to fight these types of suspensions contact The Beltz Law Firm at 214-321-4105.

One thing worth stressing is that a DWLI suspension usually piles on top of whatever made your license invalid in the first place, so the total time without a license can end up much longer than people expect. Do not ignore the DPS notice either. You have a right to request an administrative hearing to contest the suspension, but the deadline to ask for one is short. While that plays out, the fastest fix is to clear the original hold or unpaid ticket that caused the invalid status, because DPS will not reinstate you until the underlying problem is resolved.
