What is more frustrating that receiving a ticket in Irving? Having that ticket cause your license to be suspended for up to two years. What can be done when this happens to you? Call our office to obtain an Occupational Drivers License (ODL).
An ODL is a conditional license which allows you to operate a motor vehicle for certain purposes and during certain times. It is not a free pass and it is not cheap. But, getting caught on the road while your drivers license is ineligible is worse and far more costly in the long term. An ODL, is not your only option in this case (you could call your mom to take you to work or take a cab) but it is often the most practical. Texas is too big and North Texas is far too spread out to not need an ODL to maintain a sound lifestyle.
Because Irving is in Dallas County, a ticket issued in Irving which causes a suspension means you can obtain your ODL in Dallas County, a more convenient and timely venue. We can file your ODL petition in Dallas County and usually, receive your ODL on the same day we file.
The requirements for an ODL are: 1) File a verified petition with the proper court of jurisdiction; 2) obtain SR-22 insurance; 3) pay all reinstatement fees; 4) pay all occupational license fees; 5) pay the required filing fees with the court; 6) send certified copies to the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS).
Fortunately, our attorneys and staff have been perfecting the process of obtaining an ODL for years. We can guide you through the whole process and answer all your questions. We are a one stop shop for all your license related issues. Do not hesitate to contact us with your ODL related questions.
