Occupational Driver’s License

If your driver’s license was suspended or revoked you may still be allowed to drive under certain circumstances if you get an occupational driver’s license (ODL).

An occupational driver’s license is a special restricted license that lets you drive a non-commercial vehicle for work, school or to perform essential household duties.

To get an occupational driver’s license you must first get a court order that authorizes the Texas Department of Public Safety to issue the license.
