DRIVING WHILE LICENSE SUSPENDED
Case No. 1781015 – Kenna H.

DISMISSED

Kenna’s license was suspended for no insurance and expired registration tickets . He got the registration ticket dismissed, reinstated his insurance and paid his tickets – but not aware it was not done in the proper time frame and that he therefore still had active warrants out for his arrest. And unfortunately, since he moved, he didn’t receive the letter from DPS notifying him of he suspension until after he was arrested. Working with the State prosecutors, we proved that Kenna had demonstrated financial responsibility, just too late to prevent the suspension, that he had moved and was not notified, and got him sufficient time to allow him to pay … more surcharges and to file an SR-22 and then obtained a Dismissal once his license was clear.
