One of the first things you'll want to do if you've been charged with a DWI in Texas is request a hearing. In many states the deadline is ten days or less and if you miss the deadline
the request is automatically declined. Requesting a hearing an excellent way to extend your driving privileges that will otherwise be taken-away 30-days after your arrest. If you
request a hearing you can drive without the DWI on your recond until you have your hearing (and only if you lose it!).
Remember, just because you are arrested for a DWI doesn't mean you will be convicted. In a Jury trial if even one of the jurors is not convinced then your case could be dismissed. When
analyzing a DWI prosecutors use factors such as driving patterns and results of the field sobriety test. This means that it's important to make the right steps the moment you get
pulled over.
Using a well-qualified DWI defense lawyer you can sometimes uncover incorrecly documented or reported data from the police officer. It's important to remember that just because you've
been arrested for a DWI does not necessarily mean that you deserve a DWI. A jury will look at your case from all angles however without a qualify DWI lawyer it will be challenging to
properly represent yourself.
