Your driver’s license<\/p>

Check the notice.
Do not wait for court.<\/h2><\/div>\r\n

A DWI arrest can involve a criminal case and a separate administrative driver’s-license process. Your suspension notice needs prompt attention. Texas DPS explains the separate ALR process.<\/a><\/p>\r\n

For a DIC-25 Notice of Suspension, the 15-day period is tied to receipt of that notice, not automatically to the arrest date.<\/strong> The notice states that DPS must receive your hearing request no later than 15 days after you receive, or are presumed to have received, the notice<\/strong>. Read the Texas DPS DIC-25 notice.<\/a><\/p>\r\n

If the notice is handed to you at the time of arrest, those dates may coincide. If notice is delivered later, the actual or legally presumed receipt date needs to be checked. Do not assume that waiting to open mailed notice extends the deadline. Other notices and procedures may differ; have your actual notice and delivery details reviewed promptly.<\/p><\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/section>\r\n\r\n

A closer look at the evidence<\/p>

The details deserve
a careful defense.<\/h2><\/div>

The starting point is the record, not an assumption. A case review can examine what happened before, during, and after the arrest.<\/p><\/div>\r\n
