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's always been very efficient at what he does and I feel safest working with him. His work ethic is outstanding"
    David was able to save me a lot of hassle and money plus a case that if I handled myself. Would have been a nightmare brought to life turned into a cakewalk! He's always been very efficient at what he does and I feel safest working with him. His work ethic is outstanding and somewhat rare. David has supported me on 3 different cases.

    "He is very kind and cares about you as a person, and he is VERY knowledgeable in his field."
    I wish I would have gone to this man in the first place. He is very kind and cares about you as a person, and he is VERY knowledgeable in his field. I felt like he would have fought for me and produced a better outcome than what I had, had I only known about him almost 4 years now prior. If you are in a bind with marijuana charges, please go see him. He not only will know what he is speaking to but educates you on how he will win. And if you get him, I am sure you will win.

    "David was very diligent about my case, and the prosecution did NOT want to argue with him."
    If you get arrested in Texas for anything David is probably going to be your best bet, especially if it is marijuana or DUI related. I am from Florida, and I got popped in Texas with a little over 20 pounds of cannabis, 400 grams of Hash, and an AR-15 type assault rifle. My bail was set at 50,000 dollars, and if convicted, I could have done 20+. I am affiliated with NORML, and heard through a network of people that David would be the right guy for the job, and he was. David was very diligent about my case, and the prosecution did NOT want to argue with him. He subpoena'd all the records from every single arrest made by the arresting officer in the last year, and worked a whole bunch of other magic, I have no idea what he did, but it worked. David is also affiliated with NORML, and on top of being a badass lawyer, he is a pretty cool guy to chill with. As soon as I met David, I did not speak with any other lawyers, I knew I was in good hands. After being charged with one first degree felony, one-second degree felony, and 2 third-degree misdemeanors, with David handling my case, he ended up getting all charges dropped except the hash charge, which got reduced AND deferred. The end result was a 1500 dollar fine, some court and lab fees, and 120 hours of community service, and since it was deferred, I am on probation until I finish the hours, but after I finish, I can get off early. Basically, I was facing 20+ years, and David pretty much got me off with what could be loosely regarded as a slap on the wrist. David handles all kind of cases from money laundering to marijuana cases, to dui's...with this guy by your side you know you are in good hands. Thanks David
