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 2012 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 15:50:22 -0600 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 15:50:23 -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.

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?

I got my Drivers License back and my guns.

I had to pay my bails bondsman over $4000, just to get me out of jail, because 75% of all out of state DWI's never come back. He said he was an ex cop and that they wouldn't extradite me from Texas, even if I was standing on the border.

I have not been convicted and this is a mister meaner, I am 1100 miles away,

Also, my license shouldn't be suspended, because I complied with the officer and the system. (I was cooperative and nice).

I tried to plead guilty, but magistrate judge said no you have to plead no contest and come back to court, I just wanted to get out of jail and go home back to Texas.

I will never step foot inside of New Mexico again as long as I live.

Will my Texas Driver License be affected, ever? I have a CDL AB & M, can I still drive legally?

Isn't a conviction and the revocation is for people who don't comply and they should keep your license and you carrying around a peace of paper or something for 20 days or something.

Will Texas suspend or revoke my license? Will they extradite me? Will Texas allow me to renew my license?

I haven't been convicted and the advice I was given was leave New Mexico and never ever come back and continue your regular life in Texas. I haven't had a ticket in over 17 years and I am a respectable citizen normally up until this point. I have served my country for over 20+ years, was with the unit that captured Sudam Hussain, I requested a speedy trial and everything, they want to drag it out for six months to a year, I have no money anymore and I can't even afford to go to court, because the trip alone is $720 round trip . I was willing to do time and everything. The full bail was to cover the court cost and everything incase I didn't show back up.

I think I amy going to go down and change my address on my Drivers License to a P.O. Box at DPS tomorrow and it should look legal for at least another 4 years so that I can get rich or something and get it taken care of later.

What should I do? I have no job or money I just became disabled, not to long ago and am a student.
