Automatic Driver's License Suspension on Conviction of Intoxication Offenses

This deals with suspensions as a result of a CONVICTION. Keep in mind that DPS "administrative" suspensions are different than suspensions upon conviction by a county or district court.

If you are convicted of:

1) Driving While Intoxicated:

a. 90 days to 1 year if first offense

b. 180 days to 2 years if subsequent offense

c. 1 to 2 years if second offense is within 5 years

* There is no suspension if you are placed on probation, and as a condition of your probation, you are ordered to take, and successfully completes, an educational program within 180 days of the conviction, or you are required to equip your vehicle with a deep lung breath device. Also, there is no suspension if the jury recommends that the license not be suspended.

2) Driving while intoxicated with child passenger

a. 90 days to 1 year

3) Intoxication Assault (by motor vehicle)

a. 90 days to 1 year if first offense

b. 180 days to 2 year if subsequent offense
