In Texas, the consequences of driving on a suspended or revoked license can vary based on the circumstances involved. At a minimum, driving without a valid license is a class C misdemeanor, which can result in a fine of up to $500 dollars.
If the driver has been caught driving without a license before, or lost his/her license due to driving while intoxicated, it can result in a much more serious class B charge. If the unlicensed driver causes an accident or is caught driving without insurance, they can face a class A misdemeanor charge, which can carry a 1-year jail term.
Having a license revoked or suspended is a very costly procedure. In addition to fines and surcharges, drivers caught on the road with invalid licenses must pay reinstatement fees. Further, these drivers may accrue extra points on their insurance, and will have to pay higher premiums.
