My california driver's license just got suspended. Can I still drive in Texas?

My CA driver's license was suspended for over speeding. I feel really bad about it and don't plan to drive like this again. I am planning to visit Texas for a week and was hoping to get rental car. Will I be able to legally drive there?
Additional Details
I still need to go to court, where they will formally suspend it. So I did not know that they actually take away the licence. Looks it will be suspended for 30 days.

Thanks so much for the quick response!

The answer unfortunately is no. Having a suspended license in your home State only makes you unlicensed in another. Having a driver's license from 1 State permits you to drive with it in any other, but if that license is suspended, then every other State will treat you as if you don't have a license.

no as a matter of fact you can't even rent a car. REsolve your CA DL Problem first. the Tickect for Driving with out a Lisc in Texas is huge.

No. Your right to drive is granted to you only by your home state, and you are a guest permitted to drive in other states only if you have a valid license in your home state. The rental car company will NOT rent to you without a valid CA license.

Don't you need a license to rent?

No license, no driving.

Good luck renting a car without a valid license.

We're a border state, half the people don't even bother with green cards , much less license or insurance. Go ahead.

If you are suspended or revoked in one state you are suspended or revoked in all states.

No you cannot.

You not only can't drive there, you won't be able to rent a car there either. A suspended license in your home state means you have no license anywhere.

Nope.


forktail_devil
nope. u are illegal to drive in all 50 states until the suspension is lifted by ca. u need to show ur license before they'll allow u to rent a car. no license, no rental, no exceptions. maybe u'll think twice about speeding when u finally get ur license back.

You will not be able to drive in any state with a suspended license.

What drivers license are you planning to use in Texas? Are you thinking that a car rental place in Texas will honor your suspended license and rent you a car?
