Saving Your Driver License Under Texas DWI Laws Print E-mail
Sunday, 20 May 2007
Driving while intoxicated is considered to be a serious crime in Texas. If caught driving while intoxicated, you can end up in frustration along with many troubles. The Texas DWI Laws has instituted severe punishments for people who are caught driving while intoxicated. The punishments may include the following:

· Heavy fines
· Probation
· Jail
· Automatic suspension of the culprit’s driving license.
· Heavy court and attorney fees
· Appearance in court.

People usually fear the loss of license when arrested under Texas DWI laws. It is really surprising that many drivers who are arrested for driving while intoxicated do not realize that a DWI arrest can create two cases against them i.e. civil as well as criminal. Actually, a DWI arrest usually results a criminal charge, but eventually can also initiate a civil proceeding against the arrested person’s driving privileges called an ALR (Administrative License Revocation).

Most people are not aware of the fact that an Administrative License Revocation suspension can proceed against them under certain conditions. These conditions include the following:

· When a driver refuse to submit to breath testing.
· When a driver refuse to submit to blood testing.
· When a driver fails in the breath test.
· When a driver fails in the blood test.

Not only this, but if you decide to drive after losing your license, you would also be arrested for a new criminal charge and the license can be suspended for additional time. Therefore, you must concentrate on saving your license as soon as you are arrested under a Texas DWI law.

Follow the tips given below to save your Texas driver’s license.
a) Hire a veteran attorney. The attorney must have won a number of such cases in the past.
b) Request the attorney’s presence during the hearing. This will help you experience a preview of trial. You can also ask the breath test supervisor to appear for the justification of breath test results.
c) Ask for retesting the sample if a blood test is conducted.
d) The proper investigation on the accuracy of the on-road interception is necessary.
e) The adequate investigation of the arrest is a must. You can get this done by requesting for a test.
f) Make sure you check the proper time of the event. An officer must perform test within stipulated guidelines in the statute.
g) Check the label of the sample.

It is very important to take precise actions against saving your license. Keeping in mind, the above-mentioned points would help you save your Texas driver’s license. Saving your Texas driver’s license would mean that you could drive a motor vehicle again.

And, last but not the least; remember there is a provision for reinstatement of drivers license after suspension. Suppose, if no suspension is imposed at the hearing, the Department of Public Safety is under an obligation to return the driver’s license to the person arrested. And, in case, a suspension is imposed either automatically or after hearing, a driver can submit a reinstatement fee with the department and the license will be reinstated.
