Legal Question in Traffic Law in Texas

driving with an expired drivers license

I live in the state of TX. I was pulled over for an expired emmision tag. I was driving with an expired drivers license. I got a ticket for both. Immediately I got the car done and a drivers license. Are there existing cases where the expired license portion was dismissed? I have not had a ticket for over 15 years. I was driving to my ofc to come to the aid of my husband who was fighting off a broken hot water main from destroying our office.
