Your license will normally allow you to be on the road for four (4) hours a day, however, this number may increase up to twelve (12) hours per day pending court approval.
Individuals must submit the following items to DPS:
- A certified copy of the petition and a certified copy of the court order granting the occupational license.
- The judge has the authority to grant an occupational order.
- If the individual is participating in a special drug court program, then the petition is not required.
- A Financial Responsibility Insurance Certificate (SR-22).
- Payment of the occupational license fee.
- An occupational license is typically issued for one year or less; the maximum length of issuance is two years.
