What are limited permits?
If you are convicted of a DUI, you may be eligible for a limited permit, sometimes called a work permit. However, there are restrictions on when and where you can drive.
But you are limited in where and when you can drive
Limited driving permits are only valid for driving:
- Driving to your place of employment to perform the normal duties of your occupation.
- Receiving scheduled medical attention or obtain prescribed drugs.
- Attending classes at a college or school in which you are enrolled as a student.
- Attending regularly scheduled sessions or meeting of support organizations for the treatment of alcohol or other drugs.
- Attending a driver education program or alcohol/drug assessment and treatment program.
- Attend court, report to community supervision or probation, or to perform community service.
- Transport unlicensed immediate family members to obtain medical care or prescriptions, to work, or to school.
- Attend any programs or activities ordered by an accountability court judge.
DDS may specify the places you can travel to, the times of travel, the specific routes of travel, specify the vehicle, and any other restrictions they deem necessary.
NOTE: Limited driving permits are not valid for driving a commercial vehicle.
Can my limited permit be revoked?
In addition to these restriction, a limited permit can be easily revoke. If you are convicted of any moving violation (state law or local ordinance), violating any of the conditions or restrictions of the permit, or if any other suspension is imposed, your limited permit will be revoked.
