Driving is an essential part of most people’s lives. In the state of Texas, there are only a limited number of areas where you don’t need a car. Unfortunately, if you are arrested for a DWI, you can face a lengthy license suspension that can turn your life upside down.
If your license is suspended, you may need to:
Under certain circumstances, you may be required to install an ignition interlock device (IID) in order to drive. If you are court-ordered to only drive a vehicle with an IID installed, you should not take the chance of driving someone else’s car. Violating a court order can result in criminal charges.
The clock begins to tick as soon as you are arrested for drunk driving. You only have 15 days to contact the Texas Department of Public Safety to request an Administrative License Revocation hearing. If you fail to request the hearing, your license will be automatically suspended based solely on the arrest. The suspension is unrelated to your criminal case and any suspension that may occur as a result of a conviction.
By contacting a DWI attorney immediately after your arrest, you can ensure that they will request the hearing on your behalf and try to prevent the suspension or limit the amount of time that you are not allowed to drive. An attorney can also work with you to make sure that you meet all requirements for getting your driving privileges reinstated as quickly as possible.
