ALR Hearings in Texas — Will My License Be Revoked?

If you drive for work or if you depend on your car for transportation, you need a well-qualified lawyer's help at an administrative license revocation hearings to make sure that your rights are protected. The administrative license revocation (ALR) program is an administrative process by which the Texas Department of Public Safety suspends the driver’s licenses of people who have been arrested for DWI.

Your license may be suspended if you refused to submit to a breath test or if the test registered a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08 or more. Under Texas law, if you refuse to submit to a chemical test, an arresting officer is now required to issue you a notice of suspension, confiscate your driver license and issue you a 40-day temporary driver’s permit.

You Have 15 Days to Save Your License

When you have been arrested for DWI, it is important to contact an attorney as soon as possible. Texas law states that you have 15 days from the date you received the notice of suspension to request a hearing. If you do not request a hearing before this time runs out, you will face suspension of your license after 40 days.
