Does Texas DWI End Your Driving?

All Texans are eligible to request and obtain an Occupational License for driving. The law defines this drivers license as necessary to meet any essential need you have to drive for work, school and household duties, including carpool, groceries, bank and cleaners, as examples. You may request no more than two Occupational Licenses within ten (10) years.

Where and Why Can You Drive?

The Occupational License allows you to drive not less than four nor more than 12 hours per day to meet any essential need. The hours do not have to be continuous, such as 6 am – 6 pm. You can break up any 24 period to meet your need to drive carpool, get to work, visit clients in the afternoon or go to the grocery store and drive home. Most counties will allow you to drive for the full 12 hours although the procedure for getting an Occupational License varies from county to county.
