Houston DWI Attorney

What happens after a DWI arrest?

A DWI arrest can be extremely bewildering and frightening. There are a number of serious penalties that may be applied to you starting immediately. It is imperative that if you or a loved one has been arrested for a DWI in Harris County, you speak with a Houston DWI attorney immediately.

In addition to having to face criminal court proceedings, the individual arrested for a DWI will need to request a hearing within 15 days of being served a Notice of Suspension. The notice is usually served the day that the arrest is made. By requesting a hearing, you will be able to retain your driving privileges until the date of the hearing. An experienced attorney at your side will greatly improve your chances of retaining your license. Additionally, critical aspects of your defense case can be built by your defense attorney, especially if the arresting officer is present. An attorney experienced in handling administrative hearings may be able to retain your driving privileges or obtain an occupational license where this is not possible.

After your administrative hearing, a court date will be set for an arraignment. In the face of a DWI arrest, it is critical that your defense is seasoned, aggressive, and highly trained in DWI representation. It is important to understand that you have rights that must be protected throughout the administrative and court proceedings.
