Texas Administrative License Revocation Hearing Representation
After a DWI arrest, your driver’s license may be suspended. An Administrative License Revocation hearing is a legal proceeding that gives you the chance to get your license back. According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, ALR hearings are unrelated to criminal court proceedings. After an arrest, you have 15 days to request a hearing. If you don’t request a hearing, your license will be automatically suspended. The ALR process is also applicable in boating while intoxicated cases.
How Long Will My License Be Suspended?
- 180 days if arrested and fail to contest your license suspension
- 2 years if you refused to submit to chemical testing or have previous DWI, intoxication assault or intoxication manslaughter charges on your record
What Does An ALR Hearing Entail?
If you fail to schedule and/or attend a hearing, your license will be suspended. After failing or refusing a field sobriety test or breath test, it is urgent that your ALR hearing is scheduled immediately. An ALR hearing is not a DWI hearing – your DWI charges will need to be dealt with separately. At the ALR hearing, a judge will make the decision as to whether your license will be suspended.
