Protecting Your Driver’s License

Most Texans drive at least once every day. You probably take your car to work or to school. And you always have to drive to other places throughout the day. Drunk driving charges automatically jeopardize this lifestyle. Even if you are not convicted of the crime, your driver’s license may still be suspended or revoked.

The clock to keep your driver’s license starts as soon as you are arrested for DWI in Texas. There is a limited time period during which you can request an Administrative License Revocation (ALR) hearing to protect your driving privileges. Also, if your license is suspended Mr. Shanks can help you to obtain an occupational license, which will enable you to drive to work even while your license is under suspension.

It is important to act quickly to protect your driving privileges. Even if the criminal DWI charges are dismissed, your license could still be in jeopardy.

What Is The Difference Between DUI And DWI?

In Texas, adults are charged with DWI. Juveniles may be charged with either DUI or DWI. The consequences are serious when anyone is accused of drunk driving. Attorney Matthew Shanks represents adults and minors in drunk driving defense.
