Administrative Driver's License Revocation Put Unparalleled Defense In Your Corner

Administrative Driver's License Revocation 

Understanding Driver's License Suspensions Resulting from a DWI 

Driving while intoxicated (DWI) is among the most common crimes committed in Tarrant County and across the state of Texas. The best way to protect your freedom is to retain the best  DWI defense lawyer possible, otherwise you could risk suffering harsh consequences including a license suspension before you are even convicted! 

Adult DWI Driver License Suspension 

In Texas, your driver license may be suspended if you are arrested for DWI and:

  1. Your blood alcohol concentration was greater than 0.08; or
  2. You refused to provide a specimen of your breath or blood.

The length of the DWI driver license suspension will depend on the basis for the suspension. 

  1. If you provided a specimen of your breath or blood, and that specimen was above the legal limit, your driver license suspension period is 90 days. (Tex. Transp. Code § 724.015(4)). 
  2. However, if you refused to provide a specimen of your breath or blood, the suspension period is 180 days (Tex. Transp. Code § 724.015(2)).

Enhanced DWI Driver License Suspension 

If you have previously received a DWI license suspension you could be subject to an enhancement. The DWI license suspension period is enhanced to:

  1. One year if you provided a specimen of your breath or blood, that specimen was above the legal limit, and you have an alcohol or drug related contact within the last 10-year period. (Tex. Transp. Code §524.022(a)(2)).
  2. Two years if you refused to provide a specimen of your breath or blood, and you have an alcohol or drug related contact within the last 10-year period. (Tex. Transp. Code § 724.035(b)).

Minor DWI Driver License Suspension 

The DWI driver license suspension differs for people under 21-years-old. A minor’s driver license may be suspended for:

  1. 60-days if the minor provided a specimen and it was positive for alcohol (Tex. Transp. Code § 524.022(b)(1)).
  2. 120-days if the minor provided an alcohol-positive specimen and has a previous alcohol-related conviction (Tex. Transp. Code § 524.022(b)(2)).
  3. 180-days if the minor provided an alcohol-positive specimen, and has two or more alcohol-related convictions (Tex. Transp. Code § 524.022(b)(3)).
  4. 180-days if the minor refused to provide a specimen of their breath or blood (Tex. Transp. Code § 724.035(a)).

    "He moves mountains and he is straight forward with everything"
    He is a great attorney I would recommend him to anyone. He moves mountains and he is straight forward with everything and he gives you all the options and lets you choose and he will advise you for what he thinks and more than likely right or you can go with what you want and both of you will roll the dice together and go with that option if you want to he does not strong arm you into anything. And after meeting and seeing people talk about him what he does in work and outside of work he is an all around great man. and would highly recommend retaining him.

    "Thank you so much for what you did for me, I could never thank you enough!"
    I was arrested for possession of Marijuana, Called Sloane the moment I knew I needed help. I needed someone who would take action and get me out of a sticky situation. He filed papers and I just waited 3 years for any sign of a court date. Fortunately, the charges/case was dropped due to the statute of limitations. A few months after everything was dropped, I wanted to see if I could get some of the money I paid for him because he did not have to come to my town or do very much at all in those three years. I got in touch with his assistant and she said sorry it's a one time fee. David was nice enough to call me back an offer me some of what I paid. He was honest and did his job to the fullest extent I needed. He has blessed me with my life and an even better holiday gift! He will always be my go-to guy if I'm ever in a bad situation. Although I really hope I never have to call him again. Thank you so much for what you did for me, I could never thank you enough! God bless!
