DUI: Driving Under the Influence
DUI is a zero-tolerance law in Texas that prohibits drivers under 21 years old from having any detectable amount of alcohol in their system. Police officers in Bryan|College Station are very aggressive in charging college students for this type of offense.
DWI: Driving While Intoxicated
DWI is a Texas law prohibiting any driver from operating a motor vehicle when they have lost the normal use of their mental or physical faculties, or by having a legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 or above. Drivers can also be charged with DWI by the introduction of drugs, or a combination of alcohol and drugs, into their system. The police typically use a series of field sobriety tests (FSTs) to develop probable cause to arrest for DWI in addition to asking persons to submit to a breath or blood test. Here again, the police in Bryan|College Station have developed a "take no prisoners" attitude toward charging college students with this very serious misdemeanor offense. Call Us Now if you've been arrested.
ALR: Administrative License Revocation
In addition to the criminal charges faced by those arrested for DUI or DWI, the arrest starts an administrative procedure called Administrative License Revocation or ALR. An ALR driver's license suspension is automatic unless you request a hearing to challenge the suspension, in writing, within 15 days after receiving notice of the suspension. If a hearing is not requested the suspension automatically begins on the 41st day after notice was received. If a hearing is requested, no action will be taken regarding a suspension until after the hearing. We request an ALR hearing on your behalf and represent you in the hearing if you hire the firm prior to the 15 day deadline.
Defending Bryan | College Station DWI Charges
Many people wrongly assume if they blow "above-the-limit" on the breath test they are as good as convicted of drunk driving. However, that is not necessarily the case. My team will investigate all possibilities in defending your case including circumstances under which breath test results can be challenged. I'll help determine if you were legally stopped, whether sobriety tests were administered properly, and whether any chemical test can be used as evidence against you. I've written extensively on the Defense Perspective about attacking the Intoxilyzer 5000 machine used to obtain breath alcohol concentrations from persons arrested for DWI. I'm experienced and prepared to fight against all chemical tests used to incriminate you.
Other Alcohol-Related Offenses
In addition to DWI/DUI offenses, my Firm is experienced in representing clients with a variety of other alcohol-related charges including minor in possession (MIP), public intoxication (PI), making alcohol available to a minor, and open container charges. We represent clients needing assistance with under-aged drinking, driver's license suspensions, motor vehicle assault, CDL defense, and intoxication manslaughter charges.
