1. What is an occupational license?

An occupational license is a special restricted license issued to persons whose license has been suspended or revoked for certain offenses. View the Texas Transportation Code Section 521.242, 37 Texas Administrative Code 15.7 for more information.

2. Is the court order the occupational license?

No, this is the order granting the occupational license. The court order and all other required items must be submitted by you to the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) so an occupational license can be issued. The Wise County Justice of the Peace office does not forward any documents to DPS.
