Reader’s Question:

Hi. I was recently charged with DWI here in Houston, TX and I refused to take any test like breathalyzer, urine test and blood test. Is there a way that I can prevent the suspension of my driver’s license?

There are two ways to prevent a driver’s license suspension in Texas. First is to request and win an Administrative License Revocation (ALR) hearing or to receive a not guilty verdict in your DWI trial.

The Texas law allows an offender to request an ALR hearing within 15 days of receiving a written license suspension. An officer will serve this written notice upon the driver’s refusal or failure of a breathalyzer, urine test, or blood test in most cases. The Department of Public Safety (DPS) will notify the offender of his/her driver’s license suspension via certified mail if the officer fails to serve you a written notice. But if you fail request an ALR hearing, your license suspension begins on the 40th day after receiving the notice.
