Occupational Driver's License Self-Help Kit
TexasLawHelp.org
Free forms and instructions for asking a Texas court to authorize a restricted occupational driver's license after a suspension or revocation.
How to get help
Check the license status and suspension basis, obtain SR-22 insurance and a certified Type AR driving record, install an ignition interlock if required, complete the petition and order, file in the authorized court, attend the hearing, obtain certified copies, and follow current DPS steps before driving under the order or issued license.
Who this service helps
A person with a suspended or revoked Texas driving privilege may qualify when essential driving is needed for work, school, or household duties and no statutory disqualification applies. Commercial driving and driving performed as part of job duties are outside the ordinary ODL scope.
