O.K. -- First probably in wrong forum, second, I'm showing my limited exposure with transportation code.

Just had hearing for occupational license where D may have had more than one occ. license before based on prior convictions.

Am I off base or doesn't TC 521.242 say:

(b) apply for...occupational license...where suspended...for a conviction of an
offense under the laws of this state; and
(2) the person has not been issued, in the 10 years preceding the date of the filing of the petition, more than one
occupational license after a conviction under the laws of this state.

So if D has more than one based on convictions, he's out of luck, right?

If no, shoot me now...

Thanks.

If he has has obtained two or more prior occupational licenses in the last 10 years, he cannot get a third.

"Conviction" is an important word for counting the occupational licenses allowed since people also get this sort of license when they lose the license because of a failed a breath test.

Thanks...It turned out this Defendant had gotten license suspension for failure to pay child support and obtained an occupational for that "civil" reason.

It was a full moon day we had this hearing hence the quirks...

But really did want to make sure the interpretation of the statute was correct.
