What is considered a DWI in Texas?
In Texas, a DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) occurs when a person operates a motor vehicle in a public place while intoxicated. Intoxication is legally defined as having a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or more, or not having the normal use of mental or physical faculties due to alcohol, drugs, or a combination of substances.
Can I be charged with DWI even if my BAC is below 0.08%?
Yes. Texas law allows DWI charges if an officer believes you have lost the normal use of your physical or mental faculties, even if your BAC is below 0.08%. This means drugs, prescription medications, or even fatigue combined with a small amount of alcohol could lead to arrest.
What happens after a DWI arrest in Fort Bend County?
After your arrest, you will be booked into jail, where your fingerprints and mugshot will be taken. You may be released on bond or held for a magistrate hearing. You’ll be given a court date and must take action within 15 days to request a hearing to save your driver’s license.
How long do I have to request an ALR hearing in Texas?
You only have 15 days from the date of your DWI arrest to request an Administrative License Revocation (ALR) hearing. If you do not, your driver’s license will be automatically suspended, even before your criminal case is heard in court.
What is an ALR hearing?
An ALR hearing is a civil process separate from your criminal DWI case. It determines whether your driver’s license will be suspended for refusing or failing a breath or blood test. Having a lawyer at this hearing can help you challenge the suspension and preserve your driving privileges.
