Re: Driving while licence suspended how do you get your licence back

I reviewed the attorneys listed on this site, was not able to locate one in San Angelo, or even Abilene.

This case will probably require a few court hearings and consultations with the ADA. You need to locate an attorney in your area, or you will be paying for attorney travel time.

Contact the local bar association for a referral to a criminal attorney. Not knowing how much money you have available, you may need to contact several attorneys to locate one that will work with you on a payment plan.

Check out the DPS website. I am pretty sure it is more than $250 to reinstate his license. The penalty increases with each year, and with each DWLS. He has to have an SR22 on his insurance. Contact the insurance agent, they should be able to easily find out the status of his license, what is required for reinstatement.
