Can a traffic ticket conviction cause a person’s driving privileges to be suspended in Texas?  Most definitely, yes.  Our law firm represents people daily at driver’s license suspension hearings across the metroplex for this very issue.  Many people could have avoided the whole mess if they would have understood exactly how the Transportation Code and The Texas Department of Public Safety enforce traffic related laws.  Our hope is to educate the public on this growing problem so that it can be avoided in the future.

How Do Traffic Tickets Cause a Suspension of A Driver’s License?

DPS is responsible for maintaining the safety of the roadways in Texas.  The legislature has set forth certain laws that hold people accountable for excessive moving violations that could cause a serious risk to other drivers.  It has been determined that each moving violation should accrue at least two points.  If a driver gets more than six points over a three year period, that driver could face a suspension of their driving privileges.

What Has To Happen Before DPS Can Suspend A Driver’s License?

DPS must send notice to a person of the intent to suspend a driver’s license.  It is imperative that you act immediately once this notice is received.  If you do not act quickly, DPS can suspend your license based on your default.  However, if you do act fast and notify DPS of your intent to dispute the driver’s license suspension you can try to avoid the suspension.  Our traffic ticket attorneys can request this hearing for you.  Once the hearing is set, our ticket lawyers will show up on your behalf.  That is right!  You do not even have to go to court if we are retained to defend you for a driver’s license suspension.

In most cases, our office can probate any suspension sentence that would have otherwise been entered.  This means that you just have to be sure that you do not receive any other traffic tickets during a 6 – 9 month period and your full driving privileges wil be reinstated.  Futher, you can continue to drive legally without the threat of being arrested or cited for a “driving while license suspended” or “driving while license invalid” ticket.
