Questions
What should I do immediately after a DWI arrest?
Contact our office immediately to preserve evidence and initiate license suspension challenges. We recommend remaining silent and requesting legal representation during all proceedings.
Can my DWI charge be dismissed?
Case dismissals require identifying constitutional violations or evidentiary issues. Our track record shows success challenging flawed testing procedures and unlawful traffic stops to secure charge dismissals.
How does a DWI affect my driver's license?
Texas imposes automatic suspensions for failed chemical tests. We help clients request administrative hearings to challenge suspensions and obtain occupational licenses for work-related driving.
What's the difference between DWI and DUI in Texas?
DUI applies to minors with any detectable alcohol, while DWI charges adults with impairment or 0.08%+ BAC. Penalties differ significantly between these offenses regarding fines and license consequences.
Can I get a writ bond for my DWI case?
Writ bonds apply to Class A/B misdemeanors. Our team files emergency habeas corpus petitions to secure prompt release from custody, typically achieving release within two hours of bond processing.
How does prior criminal record affect my DWI case?
Previous offenses increase penalties but create opportunities for strategic defense. Our experience negotiating reduced charges helps mitigate long-term consequences while protecting future employment opportunities.
