Getting my CDL with DWI covictions, Eyes wide open

Briefly, the purpose of my post is to keep my eyes wide open before investing time, money and emotion to another "promising" career. So, I have studied for the the CDL written test and plan on testing this week. Once passed, I plan on paying $1,100 to a company to practice for the skills test and use their truck to pass the skills test.

I can't afford to have a "disappointment" after obtaining my CDL only to find out I can't get hired due to my DWI convictions. I have no moving violations and/or accidents in the last 18 years, however, i have 3 DWI convictions: 2005, 2006, 2010. In Texas, the 3rd DWI is an automatic Felony with no deferred adjudication (unlike any felony drug charge, go figure) So I have a felony. My 5 yr. probation ends in November 2015, and I have no restrictions on my license.

Am I wasting my time obtaining my CDL? Would a company hire me?

Thanks
