Collin, Dallas or Denton County, Texas DWI: What you MUST do IMMEDIATELY to preserve your right to drive: by Plano DWI lawyer Troy Burleson

by Collin County DWI attorney Troy Burleson

1. The arresting officer should have provided you with paperwork about the suspension of your driver’s license (DIC-24 statutory warning form);
2. You have 15 days from the day of your arrest to request an ALR hearing to contest the suspension of your license or your license will be AUTOMATICALLY SUSPENDED;
3. If you do not request an ALR hearing with 15 days of your arrest, there is no way to save your license from being suspended.

The request for an ALR hearing must be done according to SOAH (State Office of Administrative Hearings) rules. As a courtesy, my office will request your ALR hearing free of charge if your contact us for an interview.
