Texas Administrative License Revocation Lawyer

ALR Hearing Following a Texas DWI

If you are arrested or charged with Driving While Intoxicated and you do not take actions to preserve your right to drive, your license will be suspended. Whenever you are arrested for DWI in Texas, the arresting officer will issue you a Notice of Suspension and take your license. This notice informs you that your license will be suspended at a particular date in the future, and it gives you fifteen days to schedule an Administrative License Revocation hearing (ALR). Essentially, it works like this: if you are charged with DWI, you have fifteen days to meet with a judge and try to keep your license.

Specifically, an ALR hearing involves you going before a judge (along with your attorney). The judge will then determine whether or not there is enough evidence to suspend your license. It is important to note that this process has nothing to do with your criminal trial; an ALR hearing only concerns the suspension of your license.

Arguing at an ALR hearing is a complicated process. Whether or not you keep your license depends on the details of your arrest, what evidence authorities have against you, and even how your particular judge handles these cases. In short, keeping your license can be a difficult task. But an experienced DWI attorney can help guide you through the process. If you have been arrested for DWI, contact the Texas DWI defense attorneys at Grossman Law Offices and let our Dallas attorneys assist you in keeping your right to drive.
