A Texas Request for Hearing is a legal document that is used to initiate a hearing process within the state of Texas. It is typically used when an individual wishes to challenge a decision made by a state agency, such as a driver's license suspension or denial. The Request for Hearing must be completed and filed with the appropriate state agency to initiate the hearing process. There are three types of Texas Requests for Hearing: an Administrative License Revocation (ALR) Hearing, an Occupational Driver's License Hearing, and a Contested Case Hearing. An ALR Hearing is used when an individual's driver's license has been suspended or revoked due to an alleged DWI violation, while an Occupational Driver's License Hearing is used to request an occupational driver's license while a license suspension is still in effect. A Contested Case Hearing is used when an individual wishes to challenge a state agency's decision or action.
