In today's world, driving privileges impact nearly everything we do — getting to work or school, getting groceries, running errands, and much more. When you are facing having your license suspended or revoked, you know how important it is to do everything you can to protect your driver's license. What you may not know is how quickly you must act. If you have been pulled over for drunk driving or have accumulated too many traffic tickets on your record, you only have 15 days from being notified of license suspension or license revocation to contest the issue.
At the Plano law office of Shapiro Law Firm, we represent clients at administrative license suspension hearings. We fight to protect their driving privileges or work to obtain provisional licenses when possible. Contact our criminal defense attorneys to learn how we can help.
People make mistakes. At the Shapiro Law Firm, we understand that. However, we work hard so that your mistakes do not lead to further trouble. We have over 30 years of experience practicing law and know the procedures for administrative license revocation (ALR) hearings. With our prosecution background and criminal defense experience, we know what it takes to protect a driver's license at ALR hearings.
In Texas, your license may be suspended for the following:
- Breath test refusal during a DWI traffic stop
- DWI/DUI conviction
- Habitual traffic offenses (4 tickets within a year or 7 tickets within 2 years)
- Other criminal offenses
If you have been pulled over for drunk driving or are facing a suspended license for some other reason, you have a right to contest the license suspension. However, to assert this right, you MUST request a hearing with the Department of Public Safety in a timely manner in order to challenge the license revocation/suspension.
