If your license has been suspended, you may be eligible for a restricted license limited to driving to work and for essential household needs. In most cases you will need to participate in a hearing is required to show the judge why you need the occupational license.

Expunctions and Non-Disclosures

If your misdemeanor was dismissed, or the charges were never brought after an arrest, you may be eligible for an Expunction. Expunctions are important because they clean up all records of your arrest and/or charges. Non-disclosures allow you to keep your deferred adjudication disposition from being released to the public. If you have received deferred adjudication, you may be eligible for a non-disclosure.
