Frequently Asked Questions

Can I refuse a breathalyzer in Texas?

You can, but Texas has implied consent laws. Refusal can result in automatic license suspension. However, refusing may limit the evidence against you — we’ll help you understand the best strategy.

Will I lose my license after a DWI arrest?

Your license can be suspended, but you have 15 days to request an ALR hearing to fight the suspension. Contact us immediately after arrest.

Can a DWI be dismissed?

Yes. We regularly get DWI charges reduced or dismissed by challenging the traffic stop, field sobriety tests, breath/blood tests, and officer procedures.

Should I plead guilty to a first DWI?

Almost never without consulting an attorney first. There are often strong defense strategies even for first offenses.
