Helping You Get Back on the Road

Losing your driving privileges can make it difficult to get to work, attend school, care for your family, or meet other essential daily responsibilities. If your Texas driver's license has been suspended, revoked, or denied, you may be eligible to obtain an Occupational Driver's License (ODL), allowing you to drive for specific, court-approved purposes.

At H&S Law Group, we help clients navigate the Occupational Driver's License process and work to restore their ability to legally drive as quickly as possible.

What Is an Occupational Driver's License?

An Occupational Driver's License is a restricted license issued by a court that permits eligible individuals to operate a motor vehicle for essential activities, including:

  • Traveling to and from work
  • Attending school or college
  • Performing work-related duties
  • Obtaining medical care
  • Transporting children
  • Completing essential household responsibilities
  • Court-ordered obligations and other necessary activities

Because every case is unique, the court determines the specific terms and conditions of the license.

Reasons a Driver's License May Be Suspended

We assist clients whose driving privileges have been affected by:

  • Driving While Intoxicated (DWI)
  • Refusal or failure of a breath or blood test (Administrative License Revocation)
  • Accumulation of traffic violations
  • Driving without insurance
  • Serious traffic-related offenses
  • Certain criminal convictions
  • License suspensions imposed by the Texas Department of Public Safety
