Start the License Reinstatement Process with a Court-Accepted New Directions Evaluator

Lost your driver’s license following a DUI conviction, reckless driving conviction, or other incident? The first step toward driver’s license reinstatement is getting an assessment from a professional. New Directions can help.

We offer convenient assessment services that are accepted in 48 states—including Texas courts and the DMV. While we can’t promise that you’ll get your license back, we can assure you that our license reinstatement evaluations are carried out by qualified professionals.

Please note that the Texas process for restoring your license may vary depending on the reason for your suspension. Ensure you carry out all the steps you need to take in your situation, whether that means paying fines or attending traffic school.

Once you’re ready to proceed with a driver’s license reinstatement assessment, getting started is simple. Here’s how it works.

How to Request Your Driver’s License Reinstatement Assessment

  • Register for a secure account online, call us at 1-800-671-8589, or visit one of our convenient kiosk locations to register
  • Complete the initial questionnaire online
  • Complete a 45- to 55-minute interview with one of our professional evaluators via phone or online video call
  • Forward any supporting documents (such as any forms required by the DMV or court) to your evaluator
  • Receive your report by email to review and approve before forwarding or releasing to authorities (typically within five business days once your evaluator has received all documents—rush service is available)

*Note:Some assessments may require that your evaluator review paperwork from the court or make a brief telephone contact with a character reference on your behalf.
