OVERVIEW OF DWI DUI
You have significant rights under the law, but you must
assert these rights within a short period of time in order to
preserve your rights.
Once you have been charged with a DWI, you could face
monetary fines, jail time, and loss of your Driving Privileges.
Your case can be understood as having two parts. The
Administrative Hearing and the Criminal Hearing. Please
follow the links below to find out more information.
ADMINISTRATIVE HEARINGS (ALR Hearings) FOR DWI
DUI CASES:
The Administrative hearing is conducted with the Texas
Department of Public safety and pertains to your driving
privileges. Once you have been charged with a DWI or a
DUI in Texas, you only have 15 days to file an appeal with
the Department of Public Safety from the date of your arrest
in order to contest the suspension of your license. This
hearing is less formal than criminal hearings and special
rules apply to filings and appeals from judgements rendered
as part of these ALR hearings.
CRIMINAL HEARINGS IN DWI AND DUI CASES:
The criminal portion of a DWI or DUI proceeding occurs in
the courts. On the first or second arrest for DWI or DUI, the
case is conducted in County Court and is considered a
misdemeanor offense. On the third or subsequent arrest for
DWI, the case is most often conducted in District Court and
is considered a felony offense.
In criminal hearings for DWI or DUI offenses, the punishment
is more harsh than in ALR hearings where only loss of
driving privileges are at stake. In criminal hearings for DWI
or DUI, defendants face monetary fines, the possibility of
going to jail, the possibility of court ordered alcohol or other
substance abuse classes, as well as other penalties that
affect the defendant's freedom.
