- Brown, Patricia:
Losing Your License before Any Conviction
An initial step that is vital upon retaining counsel is to handle the administrative aspect of your drunk driving arrest. That process runs concurrently with the criminal aspect of your case. If you do not schedule a DMV hearing, you will automatically have your license suspended even before any court hearings. That impacts your ability to drive and your attorney's ability to negotiate with the prosecution.
- Rippy, Henderson & King:
As Offenses Increase, So Do the Penalties
Under Texas law, as the number of DWI offenses goes up, so do the penalties. If this is your first offense, you may be facing jail time, fines, and a 90 day revocation of your driver's license. If this is your second or third offense, you may be facing charges, as well as penalties of longer sentences, heavier fines, and a lengthy license revocation period.
- Laura Barker:
WARNING!!! If you have recently been arrested for a DWI, your license
may be at risk of suspension. The suspension is AUTOMATIC...UNLESS you
request a hearing from the Texas Department of Public Safety, in
writing or by phone, WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) DAYS after receiving notice of
suspension from the arresting agency (usually given to you on the day
of arrest). If a hearing has not been requested by you within 15 days,
the suspension will begin automatically on the FORTIETH (4Oth) DAY
after notice was received.
