DWI
Do you understand the consequences of a drunk driving charge in Texas?
If you have been arrested for Drunk Driving, Driving While Intoxicated, or Driving Under the Influence, you need to talk to an attorney immediately. A DWI/DUI is a very serious offense in Texas. You face punishments such as suspension of driving privileges, fines, and/or jail. If injuries are involved, particularly if this is not the first time being charged with DWI, jail is a serious possibility. Surcharges and overwhelming administrative fees can apply also. Employment opportunities can be lost while automobile insurance rates soar. The punishments can be more severe than some felony offenses.
In Texas, you have fifteen (15) days after a police officer arrests you for DWI in which to request an Administrative License Revocation (ALR) Hearing from the Texas Department of Public Safety. If you do not request a hearing within the fifteen day period, your driver’s license will be suspended on the fortieth (40th) day following your arrest.
There are many procedural requirements for officers when they are investigating a DWI. As a result, there are many issues that a good attorney can raise. Attorney Lynn Johnson will guide you through the maze.
