If you refuse a breath or blood test after being pulled over for DWI, your license can be suspended. That suspension against your driving privileges becomes effective forty days after you were asked to submit to a breath or blood test. However, within fifteen days of the arrest, you or your Waco DWI lawyer may request a license suspension hearing. Therefore, the suspension for failing or refusing a breath or blood test is only automatic if the driver fails to request an Administrative License Revocation hearing (ALR).
Texas developed the Administrative License Revocation Program to manage the driver’s license suspension or revocation process. During the ALR hearing, an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) will listen to testimony from both sides and issue certain findings based on the evidence presented. Their findings will usually dictate one of three outcomes:
During the hearing, we can test our potential trial arguments and cross examine police officers. We can also subpoena reports to learn more about the facts of the case and then use these facts to develop a stronger defense. The ALR hearing provides an opportunity for your Waco DWI lawyer to lock down the officer’s testimony, which will be helpful at trial.
