Had license suspended now.....

This is why you do everything you can to keep citations off of your record. Been rolling my eyes at the "you broke the law, man up and pay the ticket" BS for ever.

Hire a lawyer and keep your record clean. A clean driving record also seems to inspire a lot more warnings being given vs. citations. It's like credit. Good score = zero interest

Yep,
Main reason I have a clean record is the fact I have a clean record. It sure as shit isn't because I don't get pulled over or get a ticket. Clean record will get you a lot of warnings and a rare ticket if doing 15 over. Last ticket I got was for 13 over from a trooper in our area who doesn't write warnings.

Another issue is the companies policy... we wont touch anyone for 7 years after their DWI offense... CDL or not. Insurance is too high for them.

Beware of a Brutal Point System

But the bad news is that Texas has a relatively low point count before heavy penalties start kicking in―just six points in three years. And Texas doesn't split hairs when it comes to which offenses result in how many points; it's cut-and-dried:

One moving violation is two points.

A moving violation resulting in an accident is three points.

Besides the whopping dent in your pocketbook under the DRP program, four moving violations in 12 months or seven moving violations in 24 months will also get your license suspended. The more egregious violations do not accumulate points, but that's not necessarily good news―see "Conviction-based Surcharges," below.

In addition to having your license suspended for habitual traffic citations, you risk paying increasingly heavy fines on an annual, repeating basis by accumulating points. So drive safely and save your hard-earned cash!

Believe if it's your first dwi you have to wait 3 years before you cal apply. I semi looked into it for a friend trying to get a job with me at txdot

CDL's are a pain in the ass now days. You get points just for warnings. Plus every HiPo and local cop are itching to pull over the big rigs because they rack up big fines and fast. That alone would be reason enough to stay away from them.

I don't write CDL holders and I usually just give them a verbal warning, unless they're just asses and they pretty much write the ticket themselves. I know they lose points and could lose their jobs over it, plus my dad was a truck driver for like 50 years. They're usually pretty appreciative of it.

DRP is a fucking joke.

Points equal revenue generation

WTF? Who hates Vegas?!

Someone who lived there for a brief period. That town is full of more degenerate losers than anywhere else in this country. Beggers and thieves everywhere. You can't walk into any public place without bells, whistles, dinging and sirens going off. In addition to all the damn drunk drivers in that town. My grandparents retired there, my grandfather served in WWII, raised his seven kids, only to be creamed by an idiot drunk driver there a few years ago. The reason it's so hot there is because it's the gates to hell.

Fuck Vegas.

[VaderTT]

Don't need points if you don't have a license.

[joes01bullitt]

There are points on your drivers license?

thats exactly what i was thinking!

May have to pull your driving record. I believe it begins the moment you get your first one and it falls off every 36 months from the date you originally recieved each one.

cool....guess ill have to pay for one to be mailed to me....

I despise that town with a hateful passion.

[VaderTT]

And somehow, you're not posting from prison. What's your secret?

My secret is: I just drink more until it goes away. I kid, worst was a class B

Sounds like you're an underachiever for this board..

In every aspect of my life!

[TexasT]

Have you gone down and applied? Have you talked to the judge who passed judgement on you? Is your record improved? You might as well ask the worst they can say is no. You don't have warrants do you? If so calling would probably be a better choice than going form there.

[Steve]

In Las Vegas, that number is something like 8/10.

I despise that town with a hateful passion.
