Dear goodlocks-ga;
Thank you for allowing me an opportunity to answer your interesting
question. There's good news and bad news: The bad news is the
reinstatement requires a bit of money. The good news is a license
reinstatement is a somewhat easier in Texas than it is in many states,
including my own, where I am in professional law enforcement.
If your suspension period is up (passed entirely), then you can get
our license reinstated by paying a reinstatement fee:
?. . . a driver must submit a reinstatement fee of $100.00 to TDPS
before the license will be reinstated. I advise my clients to send
their fee to TDPS as soon as they learn that a suspension has been
ordered. Again, because of the huge bureaucracy that has been created
under the new law, waiting until the 60th or 90th day to submit your
reinstatement fee will prolong reinstatement of your license until the
fee has been both received and entered on the TDPS computer system.
There is a special TDPS form that must be submitted to reinstate your
driving privileges. This form together with the reinstatement fee must
be paid by money order, cashier's check or personal check and sent by
certified mail, return receipt requested for proper documentation of
payment and receipt to:
Driver Improvement and Control Texas Department of Public Safety P.O.
Box 15999 Austin, Texas 78761-5999
NOTE: Driving privileges will be suspended INDEFINITELY until the
Reinstatement fee has been received and posted on the TDPS computer.?

If the suspension period has not yet lapsed you might be able to ask
the court to issue you an ?Occupational License? sometimes called
?essential need license).
