You will need to determine the status of your driver’s license. You can consult with your local Department of Public Safety-Driver License Division office for options that you may have such as obtaining a restricted license or how you can reinstate your license. They can also inform you of the penalties for driving on a suspended license.

As for your attorney, if you have made multiple efforts to contact them and they have not been responsive, you can consult with the State Bar of Texas about your situation.
