A “No Driver's License” ticket can have very serious consequences for your driving record, Auto Insurance Rates and your ability to even hold a Texas Driver's License now and in the future.
Texas law states that a person, "may not operate a motor vehicle on a highway in this state unless the person holds a driver's license" (TTC §521.021) - which means you must have a valid driver's license to operate a motor vehicle anywhere in Texas.
If you’re convicted of operating a vehicle in Texas without a valid Driver's License, because you don't have a license or your license is invalid or suspended, meaning the ticket or citation is reported to Texas DPS and is “On Your Record” – your License to Drive may actually be SUSPENDED and you could be forced to pay State-mandated LICENSE REINSTATEMENT FEES. These fees are in addition to any costs and fines you're forced to pay the court for the conviction.
A citation (for No Driver's License or any other alleged traffic violation) is actually a formal summons for you to appear at court and answer the allegation against you. If you fail to appear by the date listed on the citation, you can be issued a new ticket and warrants for your immediate arrest will likely issue. You have the constitutional right to be represented by an attorney if you so choose - which means in most cases, we can appear for you.
