Understanding The DWI Process in Texas
Here is an outline of what occurs after an arrest for drunk driving:
- You will be confined in jail for a minimum of 72 hours
- At your arraignment, you will be asked whether you want to plead guilty or not guilty to the charge, and if you plead not guilty, the judge will set a date for your next court appearance
- After your release from jail, you will have 15 days to request an Administrative License Revocation (ALR) hearing, where you can attempt to keep your license-otherwise; you will be subjected to an automatic suspension, with the possibility of obtaining an occupational driver's license so you can travel to work
- You may have several mandatory court appearances, such as pre-trial hearings, where the evidence in the case will be examined and the defense and prosecution can make motions to the judge
- It is possible that you will be offered a plea bargain, where you will accept a guilty conviction in exchange for probation instead of the full sentence available
- If you choose to fight the charges, your case will go to trial
