YES. Each state will recognize other states license, only when they are valid. If you get pulled over and they run a check, you can wave good bye to the car from the back seat as you are taken away.
As part of a national standard, all drivers license have to meet a federal format and have their systems tied together so that even the airlines can tell if your license is valid when you go to board a airplane. I believe this is to be completed by mid 2008.

Most likely.
Several people here have touched on the answer, but let me explain more fully.
MOST states are members of the Interstate Compact on Driver's Licenses. Also, the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the US Constitution essentially requires that each state honor the driver's license of another state. If your driver's license is from Florida, and you are driving in another state, you are legally driving in that state because that state has a law which allows the licensed, valid drivers of other states to operate motor vehicles on the roads of that state. If your license is suspended or revoked in Florida, then you no longer fit that category.
MOST states will not give you a driver's license for their state unless your license is valid in your home state. It is my understanding that Texas is a member of the Interstate Compact, so therefore, Texas would probably not give you a driver's license if your Florida driver's license is suspended.
You need to consult an attorney license in Florida to determine how you can restore your Florida driver's license, and then arrange for a license if another state if you are a resident there.

Not all states honor every other state. I am not sure if Texas honors Florida, you could find that out on the DMV website for Texas though.

Yes.
States agree to honor the status of licenses of drivers from other states.

When I had my license suspended in VA for DUI, I was told by my lawyer I could still drive in any other state. So, when I traveled to PA, my friends drove me in my car to Maryland and then I drove.
Other states don't like VA telling them what to do. And technically, if you read your suspension, it probably says something like "cannot drive on the public roads of (fill in the state)." It says nothing about any other state's roads.

If your license are suspended, they are suspended everywhere.
