Texas DWI Third & Subsequent Offenses
Administrative Penalties
When arrested for a third or subsequent DWI offense, your license will be confiscated after which you will have 15 days to request a hearing to challenge an automatic license suspension by the DMV. If you fail to request a hearing, your suspension will last for 12 months. If you refused to be tested, your license suspension will be for two years. This two-year suspension will remain valid unless you are found not guilty of the DWI offense in court.
You may be eligible for an occupational license during your suspension, depending on the circumstances of your case. These are restricted licenses that allow you to drive to and from necessary places, such as work, school, or other essential places. Your initial suspension, in which you will not be able to drive at all, maybe for 90 up to 180 days depending on your case. Moreover, these licenses are available only one time in 10 years.
