Frequently Asked Questions
What happens after a DWI arrest in Fort Worth?
A Fort Worth DWI arrest initiates two separate legal proceedings: the criminal case in Tarrant County Criminal Court and an Administrative License Revocation (ALR) proceeding with the Texas Department of Public Safety. You have 15 days from the date of arrest to request an ALR hearing — missing that deadline results in automatic license suspension. An attorney should be contacted immediately to preserve both proceedings.
What is the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony in Texas?
Texas criminal charges are classified by severity. Class C misdemeanors are the lowest level and carry fines only. Class B and A misdemeanors involve potential jail time of up to 180 days and one year, respectively. Felonies, ranging from state jail felonies through first-degree felonies, carry sentences from 180 days to life in prison. The specific charge classification determines which Tarrant County court handles your case and what penalties are at stake.
Can a criminal record be expunged in Texas?
Texas law allows expunction of certain arrests that did not result in conviction, as well as records where charges were dismissed or the defendant was acquitted. Deferred adjudication cases may qualify for a nondisclosure order, which seals the record from most public searches. Eligibility depends on the specific charge, the outcome, and the time elapsed. Does Sloane Law Firm handle federal criminal cases?
Yes. We defend clients facing federal charges including federal drug crimes, fraud, and other offenses prosecuted in federal court. Federal cases involve different procedural rules, sentencing guidelines, and prosecutorial resources than state court matters.
