Q: reinstate drivers license
I got my first dui in texas two years ago. My license was revoked. How can I get it back? I'm a mechanic and can't get any job at all without a license
A: In Texas a DUI is only for persons under the age of 21 with any detectable amount of alcohol in their system. DWI is for all persons who drive while intoxicated. Only certain DWI dispositions come with a license suspension, though your license can be suspended for refusing to provide a sample of your breath/blood (6 months) or providing a sample and that sample being over the legal limit (90 days). You will need to consult with a criminal defense attorney to determine if your suspension has run, your surcharges are up to date, and to apply for reinstated or occupational license.
