DUI/DWI Arrest

Your DWI/DUI arrest will result in (2) cases against you that are legally separate and different from each other:

1. Administrative License Revocation (ALR) Hearing - This is a civil proceeding not a criminal. A DWI/DUI charge causes this civil case dealing with a driver’s license suspension. The ALR Hearing is important in order to keep your license from being suspended.
2. DWI/DUI Case - Takes place in the criminal courts. If you are convicted of a DWI/DUI in Texas, the court will decide the punishment, such as:
• The amount of jail time.
• The length of probation.
• The number of alcohol/drug treatment programs.
• Counseling classes.
• Restrictions to driver’s license.
• Fines and penalties.

What is implied consent?
