Driving While Intoxicated (DWI)

Due to the consequences of a DWI conviction, we firmly believe that each DWI case should be aggressively defended.

 

Administrative License Revocation (ALR) Hearing

When arrested for suspicion of DWI, your driver's license is subject to suspension beginning 40 days after the date of arrest. To contest the suspension of your driver's license, you must request this hearing from the Texas Department of Public Safety within 15 days of your arrest.

 

You may request an Administrative License Revocation (ALR) Hearing to contest the suspension of your driver's license by calling (800)394-9913, faxing (512)424-2650 (remember to keep verification that your fax was transmitted), or writing to the Texas Department of Public Safety, Driver Improvement Bureau at P.O. Box 4040, Austin, Texas 78765-4040. All correspondence must include the following information:

Full Name

Date of Birth

Driver's License Number and State

Current Mailing Address

Home and Daytime Telephone Numbers

Date and County of Arrest

Arresting Agency

Arresting Officer

Whether a Breath/Blood Test was Failed, Refused, or Not Requested

If you would prefer your hearing to be in Person or by Telephone

 

Surcharge

If convicted of DWI, you will be required to pay DPS a fee of at least $1,000 a year for 3 years.

 

This fee is in addition to any direct punishment, fines, fees, and court costs associated with the conviction.

 

Occupational Driver's License

If your license is suspended, you may be able to petition the Court for an occupational driver's license that would allow you to drive to work and school.
