Yes, assuming that you have complied with the terms of your conviction. That is, that you have paid any applicable fines,attended any mandatory programs, and fulfilled any other terms imposed.
Once this has been done than to reinstate a license after a DWI suspension in Texas you must:
- Pay a reinstatement fee prior to the renewal/issuance of a driver’s license ($125.00).
- Obtain proof of insurance (form SR-22) from your insurance company and submit to the Texas Dept. of Public Safety (DPS). The SR-22 is required for two years from date of conviction.
- If a Repeat Offender's DWI education program has been required by the convicting court, certificate of completion must be forwarded to DPS prior to the expiration of the suspension to prevent an additional revocation period.
