My license is suspended in North Carolina but is it suspended in Texas? Answer: I assume you are living in Texas now?... en-us Copyright 2010 Sun, 21 Feb 2010 11:01:01 -0600 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 16:38:14 -0600 http://www.movabletype.org/?v=3.34 http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss (OP) My license is from Texas. I was in the military when I got the DWI in North Carolina and I am still in North Carolina with the Texas liscense suspended here.

I am about to move home to Texas and was wondering if it was going to be suspended there also.

She even left the state for over a year after the arrest. What kind of charges is she looking at now?

They are telling me that in the state if illinois there is a first time offenders deal where I will be put into court supervision for a year and if i complete that without another alcohol related incident that my charge will be not looked at as a conviction. They can not tell me though how the state of texas is going to look at this. Will they honor the probabtion or will it show up as a DUI on my driving record? They say that even though it will not be looked at as a conviction it can not be expunged from my record. I need my DL for work and company insurance will not cover me with a DUI offense on my driving record. My question is how will the state of texas put this on my record?

I received a DWI in the state of Arkansas on December 2nd, 2007. I have a TX driver’s license, but live in Arkansas. Since my arrest, I have taken care of the charges, been to court, and have paid the fines. Almost a year later, (9/22/08), I received a letter from the Texas Department of Public Safety stating that I owe $1040.00 to the Driver Responsibility Program.

Do I have to pay this? Secondly, is my TX license valid? I have completed all of the requirements of the state of AR, but who knows about Texas.

Reading the fine print indicates that I will have to pay this for three years. Are they crazy? I have already paid thousands of dollars to the state of Arkansas and now they want me to give Texas $3120.00 over three years.

Thanks for your help.

Will the DPS in Texas be aware of this? Please let me know as my Texas licence is still current.

Many Thanks.

His license is currently suspended and he was arrested this weekend in NY for another DUI. Because these are in 2 different states, does the 3rd offense becoming a felony still apply or are they independent of one another?
