Why Licenses Get Suspended
The Texas DPS suspends driver's licenses for several reasons: DUI/DWI convictions, driving without insurance, excessive points from traffic violations, failure to appear in court, failure to pay child support, and medical conditions. Regardless of the reason, you'll need to resolve the underlying issue AND obtain insurance with SR-22 filing to get your license back.
It's a catch-22: you need insurance to reinstate your license, but many insurers won't write a policy for someone with a suspended license. That's where agencies like A-LA Auto Insurance come in — we work with carriers that specialize in exactly this situation.
