It depends on the State. I'll use Florida since I live here and I know the laws. You can be jailed up to 10 days for driving while license suspended on a first offense. Typically, a judge would not hand down that harsh of a sentence for a first time (or even second time) offender especially if the driver did not know their license was suspended.

In the State of Florida, driving while license suspended is a criminal misdemeanor as opposed to running a stop sign which is a civil misdemeanor.

If you do a Google search for the driving laws in your state it will more than likely bring you to the DMV's website or the State Legislature website where you will be able to find all of your answers.

But my advice to you, is don't get your license suspended and if it is suspended, don't drive. It will cost you so much more in the end if you get caught or worse if you're at-fault in an accident.

How long does a suspended license stay on your record in PA?

Driving with a suspended license is one of the most serious offenses in Pennsylvania's Motor Vehicle Code. If you are convicted of driving with a suspended license in Pennsylvania, you will lose your license for a year and you could even go to jail. You can be sentenced to jail if you were driving under a DUI related suspension or have broken this law too many times. Whatever you do, do not just pay this ticket. If you pay it, you will do nothing more than buy yourself another year without your license. You should seek legal advice from a lawyer.

Can Oklahoma suspend a Texas drivers license for how long?

They can suspend your driving privilege in the state of Oklahoma, meaning that, if they do this, and you're caught driving in Oklahoma on any license, it'll be treated as you driving on a suspended license. As for actually suspending the license, they can request that the state of Texas suspend it, and the state of Texas will make the call as to whether they comply or not.
