FAQ's
1. What should I do right after a DWI arrest in The Woodlands?
Stay calm and call a DWI lawyer immediately. Be careful what you say to insurance companies or the police. Getting help early means we have more time to review the stop, the testing and any license suspension issues that may come with the charge.
2. How long do I have to fight a DWI license suspension in Texas?
Usually, you’ll have a short time (usually 15 days from the date of arrest or notice) to ask for an ALR hearing to challenge the automatic license suspension. If you want to save your driving privileges, it is important that you act quickly.
3. Can a first-offense DWI still have serious consequences in Montgomery County?
Yes. Even a first DWI is a Class B misdemeanor and can result in jail time, fines, license suspension and a permanent criminal record. The right defense can really change the outcome.
4. What defenses are possible in a Woodlands DWI case?
There may be defenses based on the traffic stop, the method of administering field sobriety tests, the accuracy of the breath or blood testing, or the officer’s basis for arresting you. Every case is different and we look closely at the evidence.
