Occupational and Hardship License



Occupational Driver’s License After a DWI in Dallas, Texas

In Texas, adults whose driver's licenses have been suspended because of a DWI-related matter generally seek an occupational driver's license (ODL) rather than a hardship license. A traditional hardship license is primarily associated with limited circumstances involving minors. For adults, an occupational driver's license is generally the relevant type of restricted driving authorization.

An occupational driver's license is a court-ordered, restricted license that may allow a person to drive for essential purposes while their regular Texas driver's license is suspended, revoked, or canceled. Depending on the order, permitted driving may include travel for work, school, medical appointments, and essential household responsibilities.
