Removing A Hold On Your Driver License
If you have a traffic ticket that has gone past due and the appearance date on the ticket has passed, then the court can place an OMNI hold on the renewal of your driver license. This type of hold allows DPS to deny the renewal of your driving privileges until the court reports to the Department that you have resolved the ticket.
There are very special steps that must be taken to remove a driver license hold in order to get your license back without causing serious damage to your driving record and driving privileges. These steps are as follows:
- Do Not Pay Off The Ticket!!! Paying off the ticket will cause convictions on your record for the offense. Many times the consequences for the conviction are worse than the hold itself.
- Hire A Lawyer to Remove The Warrant. Once the warrant is removed for a ticket, it effectively resets the case to the beginning without creating a conviction.
- Pay the OMNI fee. After a warrant is removed and a case is placed back on the court’s docket to resolve, by law, they have to allow you to pay the OMNI fee to renew your driving privileges. The court cannot deny you this right. they have no choice in the matter.

Removing Traffic Ticket Warrants
You don’t want to make a mistake when it comes to lifting warrants for traffic tickets. If you choose to pay off old tickets that have gone into warrant, it can cause serious issues related to your driving privileges, insurance rates and driving record.
The reason why you want to avoid simply paying off old traffic tickets is because each ticket paid off in this way will cause a permanent conviction on your driving record. This means The Texas Department Of Public Safety can now take administrative action against you for those convictions that were reported.
The bottom line is that you are going to need the assistance of a lawyer to remove the warrant first without causing the conviction. After the warrant is lifted, the lawyer can then go back to court on your behalf to negotiate a deal that will both resolve the traffic ticket and protect your record. This is where the experienced traffic ticket lawyers at The Beltz Law Firm can assist you.
Moving Violations In Texas
Texas is no longer on the points system. The surcharge system has been rescinded as well. As of 2022, Texas is now solely on a moving violation based system which keeps track of every moving violation that is reported on a Texas driver’s record. However, just because the points system and surcharge program is no longer law does not mean that traffic violations cannot have a huge impact on your life. The only thing that has really changed is the way that The Texas Department of Public Safety uses conviction information to suspend a person’s license.
In 2022, an individual is considered a habitual violator if they have been convicted of 4 moving violations that arise in separate incidents in a 12 month period or 7 within a 24 month period. Once a person is considered a habitual violator, DPS can then take action against that driver to suspend their driving privileges. If a hearing is held and there is an affirmative finding, the license may be suspended for a period up to 1 year.
If you have been issued a ticket in Texas that is considered a moving violation, you have to take steps to protect your record at all cost based on this new system. The points and surcharges may have gone away, but driver license suspensions due to traffic ticket convictions are here to stay.
