Have You Been Charged With A DWI In Texas?

Texas has a system of driver’s license surcharges when you are convicted of DWI. After a first offense, you will be required to pay an extra $1,000 per year for 3 years in order to keep your driver’s license. This surcharge is on top of the fine that you will be required to pay for the conviction. If you should receive a second DWI conviction within the past five years, this surcharge will increase to $1,500 per year. Further, you have only 15 days to schedule your ALR (Administrative License Revocation) hearing. At this hearing, a judge will make the decision as to whether your license will be suspended. With the help of an attorney from the Zen Law Firm, it is possible that your license suspension could be waived, thus allowing you to continue driving. You are allowed to represent yourself during the ALR process. However, a skilled attorney can help you understand your rights and argue your case more efficiently. Don’t try to handle this hearing on your own. Let an attorney from the Zen Law Firm, to fight aggressively every step of the way.
