Car Insurance Question  I had my license suspended in Las Vegas, Nevada and I have not totally cleared it up yet. I need to work, so can I get a driver's license in Texas?

As the Nevada DMV states, all US states have access to the National Drivers Register (NDR), which is a database of problems drivers. They define problem drivers for this registry as those who have convictions for serious traffic offenses or whose driver's license has been suspended, revoked, canceled or denied.

The NV DMV goes on to say that no state may issue a driver license if there is an active suspension or revocation in any other state. Thus, if your license has been suspended in Nevada and you have yet to clear up those issues and have your NV license reinstated than you will be unable to receive a Texas state license.  Obtaining back your NV license needs to be done by following the NV reinstatement procedures which can be found at www.dmvnv.com/dlsuspensions.htm.

The Texas Department of Public Safety is whom you would apply for a TX driver's license with and their site notes that a person who has a suspended driving status in another state is not eligible for the issuance of a TX driver's license. To acquire a Texas license, the individual must obtain a clear status from the former state's licensing agency.

You will need to get your Nevada driving privileges reinstated, and any issues cleared up, before another state will allow you to obtain a full license. Once this is done and you have received your Texas license, get a cheap car insurance quote here.
