"The County Courts at Law do not have jurisdiction over occupational license applications if the suspension is the result of a DWI conviction. You must apply to the convicting court.

Reviewer note: Own-site HTML page read in full 2026-09-06 from custody; quoted verbatim (statutory cross-references as printed). Joined to Judge Jennifer Rymell as the court's current (2025) posting. The court's Occupational Driver's License flyer (OCCUPATIONAL_WEB.pdf, image-only, read through the vision lane 2026-09-06 — paperwork, $254 filing fee at the County Courts at Law clerks in Room B-90, two certified copies of the order at $12 with one serving as the license for 45 days, DPS submission list) and its Instructions and Examples packet (example petition and affidavit) fetched 2026-09-06 and folded as companion receipts; the flyer's requirements are appended to the rule text. Composed benchpath-ajr8-tarrant (own-site lane).
G-2026-045-SC required anyone using generative AI to disclose it on the face of the filing and add a scripted certification, on pain of striking, denial of relief or monetary penalties. Rule 2.515(d)(2) and AOSC26-12 preempted it on June 15, 2026, so it could not be enforced — and by August 16, 2026 the Seventh Circuit had removed the order from its published register (no rescission instrument appears there). BenchPath holds the hashed capture as the historical record.
