If you've been pulled over in Texas for a DWI / DUI, you don't control whether the officer will arrest you. That's a decision he makes on his own. But what you do, and don't do, on the roadside will have everything to do with whether the prosecutor secures a conviction against you.

Your driver’s license will automatically be suspended 40 days from the date of arrest (or the date you were served with the notice, whichever is later) unless you or your attorney requests a hearing in the manner prescribed by law.

Your request for an ALR hearing must be received by the Texas Department of Public Safety no later than 15 days after you receive or are presumed to have received "Notice of Suspension." In most cases, this is simply the 15th day after you were arrested. Do not miss this deadline!

A DWI arrest can happen to anyone. It is not the type of case that reflects on a person's character. Some of the finest people you could meet, including doctors, teachers, members of the clergy, etc. have been arrested for DWI. Therefore, it is important for you to know how to protect yourself.

Not all attorneys that handle DWI cases are created equal. The lawyer you hire can be the difference in winning and losing your DWI case.

It can be difficult to know what attorney to hire to represent you on a pending DWI charge. There are hundreds of attorneys who 'look qualified' on the Internet. It is very important to meet with a lawyer to get a one-on-one, in person feel for whether they are the right person for the job.

Driving While Intoxicated is perhaps the most unique criminal charge in Texas, and perhaps the most prosecuted. A DWI is essentially an opinion crime; that is, it is the opinion of the officer whether a person is charged with DWI,and the jury as to whether to convict.

Tarrant County implemented the Felony Alcohol Intervention Project, or FAIP, in 2007. The mission statement sums it up pretty well: To capitalize on the trauma and consequences of an arrest by early intervention in the alcoholic's course of conduct.

If you're arrested for driving while intoxicated, the DPS will seek to suspend your license through an administrative license revocation (ALR) hearing from 3 to 6 months on a first offense and up to 2 years on a subsequent offense. You can fight the DPS, but you need the proper tools

After being served notice of a driver's license suspension for either refusing a breath or blood test or submitting to a breath or blood test and failing that test, you must request a hearing to challenge your driver's license suspension to avoid an automatic suspension.
