Texas recently enacted the Driver's Responsibility Program. This law created a point system under which all moving violations are assigned a point value. If your driving record accumulates a certain number of points, your license will be suspended. It is important that you hire a lawyer or take defensive driving to keep your record clear and avoid yourself the expense of an occupational licenses or surcharges of over $1,000 a year.

Although most offenses are "arrestable", most people assume driving with a suspended license will only net them a ticket. Driving with a suspended license will have you arrested and your car likely towed. DWLS is a class B misdemeanor in Texas just as Possession of Marijuana and Driving While Intoxicated. You can be fined $2000 and sentenced to 180 days in county jail. If you are charged with Driving with a Suspended/ Invalid License, you should take these charges seriously and seek the advise of an attorney.
