It's a Class C misdemeanor, which I don't believe is enough to suspend or deny a license, though alcohol-related convictions could give them reason enough to say you are 'chemically-dependent' or something like that.

The DPS CHL Instructor course states that one eligibility requirement is "You must not be a chemically dependant person. A person who has two convictions within the ten year period preceding the date of application for offenses (Class B or greater) involving the use of alcohol or a controlled substance is ineligible as a chemiclly dependant person. Other evidence of chemical dependancy may also make an individual ineligible for a CHL."

it's one of only two offenses in Texas that you must be given a promise to appear.dolanp wrote:It's a Class C misdemeanor, which I don't believe is enough to suspend or deny a license, though alcohol-related convictions could give them reason enough to say you are 'chemically-dependent' or something like that.

What does " given a promise to appear" mean? Does the officer promise to appear or does the offender promise to appear?

If you have ever received a citation and had to sign it, that's the "Promise to Appear"...Jacob Staff wrote:What does " given a promise to appear" mean? Does the officer promise to appear or does the offender promise to appear?
So, if you are stopped and given a citation for speeding and also had to sign it then failed to show up at the court, they can issue two warrants for your arrest. One for the speeding citation, the other for "Failure to Appear"...

Isn't it either no DL, or no proof of financial responsibility?Baytown wrote:Anybody (except Chris) know what the other is?

I have taken many a person to jail for no dl and no insurance.
Hint: It is a moving violation.

RatMan is the winner! Now if you refuse to sign the speeding ticket (not promissing to appear) you can go to jail.
