Max Penalty

Up to 180 days in jail + $2,000 fine

Driving While License Invalid (DWLI) under Texas Transportation Code § 521.457 covers operating a motor vehicle while one's driver's license is suspended, cancelled, disqualified, or denied. A first offense is a Class C Misdemeanor (fine only), but repeat violations escalate to Class B or Class A Misdemeanors. When the license was suspended due to a DWI conviction, the offense automatically becomes a Class A Misdemeanor. Travis County sees this charge frequently alongside other traffic and DWI-related offenses.
