We have successfully represented thousands of clients for Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) administrative license revocation (ALR) hearings across the Greater Houston area.
Though we cannot guarantee a favorable outcome, we promise to fight and obtain the best results for your DWI and ALR case regardless of the evidence against you.
We will advise you of your options and prepare you leading up to and during your ALR hearing. We aim to be an accessible resource to discuss your case and outcomes.
If you are arrested for DWI or DUI in Texas, and you fail or refuse to take a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) test you may be charged and face a potential driver license suspension. You will receive a DIC-25 (temporary license valid for 40 days after the arrest date), with a notice stating that your driving privileges will be automatically suspended. However, a license suspension may still be preventable by quickly filing a request for an ALR hearing. An ALR hearing is an administrative hearing that will determine whether you lose your license as a result of your DWI charges. This hearing is different from your criminal court proceeding and by requesting it, you are forcing the Texas DPS to prove its case against you.
This is a common question and though it isn’t easy, winning an ALR suspension hearing in Texas is not impossible. First, you must request a hearing within 15 days of your arrest date. If the request is submitted within the required 15 days of the date of arrest, DPS will send a letter to the address on record, which will provide the date, time and location of the hearing. It is advised that you ask for Discovery, which requires the DPS to disclose the evidence it has in its possession, including the police report and any test results. This phase allows for witnesses to be subpoenaed. You will also be given specific components that the DPS must prove to suspend your license in your Notice of Hearing. Our attorneys will use this information and any evidence presented during the Discovery phase to determine whether the officer stopped you lawfully, arrested you lawfully, whether you were read the DIC-24 (a statutory warning meant to explain what happens when you submit or refuse a sample) prior to being asked to consent to a breath or blood test, and whether you refused after being read the DIC-24. If you submitted to a blood or breath test and failed, there are aspects of each test that our attorneys may be able to challenge.
