Dallas Drunk Driving Attorney - Questions

If a person's license gets suspended is there any way for that person to drive during the suspended period?

Yes. If your license is suspended at the ALR hearing, it may be possible to obtain what is called an "occupational driver's license (ODL)." In order for the court to grant an ODL there are several requirements.

An original SR-22 certificate of insurance. This is the only proof of insurance acceptable.
An occupational license fee for a one-year license or less. The maximum length of issuance is a 2-year license, provided that the court order grants this length of time.
A statutory reinstatement fee for the Safety Responsibility suspension, if required.
A statutory reinstatement fee for the Driver Improvement suspension, if required.
A statutory reinstatement fee for the Administrative License Revocation (ALR), if required.
