Texas DWI laws can result in harsh penalties. Even a first time offender can end up paying expensive fines, having mandatory community service, or possibly going to jail. The court may even order to have an ignition interlock system installed in your car, which can also be expensive. Not to mention your driver’s license is at risk as well.
Did you know that in Texas, your DWI charge actually triggers two separate cases? The first is your criminal case, and the second is your dealings with your driver’s license. Your TX DWI arrest means that your license could be suspended, even if you are a first-time offender.
This civil action against your driving privileges is referred to as an administrative license revocation. Here’s what you need to know: If you refused to take a chemical test, or if your BAC was above the legal limit, a suspension will go into effect. Now you are without a driver’s license. Here’s how Jason Cassel can help. He will explain how you can challenge the suspension. You must make this request within 15 days or else your suspension is automatic.

There are a variety of special problems that arise following a drunk driving, DUI, or DWI arrest. It may be necessary to use a bail bondsman to help a friend or loved one gain release from custody. Renting a car may be difficult (although we know of several companies that will do so), as is getting car insurance. There may be a requirement to attend special alcohol programs, or AA meetings.
Texas Expungement
Expungement of criminal records can be a complex process, and the ability to clean up past criminal convictions depends upon many different factors. The law relating to expunging criminal convictions varies from state to state. In Texas, expungement is allowed when a defendant has their case dismissed, or if a judge or jury acquits them. It is a civil proceeding filed in the county in which the alleged offense occurred. It is important that you consult with a lawyer that is skilled in matters pertaining to expungement.
