Your license can be suspended if you're charged with a class A or B misdemeanor. Even if you didn't commit a criminal offense and are found not guilty, if it happens enough times it seems like your license could be revoked.
DPS will reinstate the license if the charges are dropped or you are found not guilty. It remains suspended until the disposition of the case.
They can also do it for being charged with a violation under Texas PC 42.01

Also remember that changing your name or address falls under 411.181 and modifying from NSA to SA falls under 411.184. I hear DPS wants you to return the old license if you change your address but the law doesn't require it. 411.187 says they can suspend it for not returning a modified license as required by 411.184(d) which is NSA to SA only.
DPS never asks for the return of an old license when the re-issue for name or address change.

One issue sticks in my mind as very confusing: There are some infractions of the rules that are not criminal offenses but will get your license suspended. Failing to change your address is one. Another is failing to return a non-semi-auto (NSA) license if you qualify for an SA and get a new license (something that happens rarely).

You can get two suspensions this way. If you commit a third infraction, your license can be revoked.

Is this material still on the test, anyone?

Jim, there is a test question or two about suspensions;

Here it is easy;

Fail to report address or name change= 30 days
Carry on wrong category(NSA vs SA)= 30 days
Fails to return with modified license= 30 Days


Fail to display to LE= 90 days

The 3 adminstrative charges other than fail to display are 30 day first offense

The only 90 day first offense is Fail to display

Then your license can be suspended for 1 to 3 years for a violation if you have ONCE been suspended for the same violation.


You can be revoked for the same violation after 2 suspensions for the same violation.
