Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I have a right to an attorney
after I am stopped?
A: In Texas, you do not have a right to an attorney being present
until after the investigation is over. This usually means that
you will not have access to an attorney until after you go to jail.
Q: Should I take the "field sobriety
tests"?
A: Realize this, you are giving the police evidence to use against
you. These tests are extremely difficult and most attorneys
agree that officers often misinterpret the tests. In any case,
the best course of action is to be courteous and when in doubt,
respectfully decline the tests.
Q: How long does a DWI stay on my
record?
A: In 2005, the Texas Legislature dropped the "ten year rule."
This means that if convicted, the DWI will stay on your record
forever.
Q: Will a DWI affect my commercial
driver's license?
A: Yes. Upon your second conviction for DWI, the Texas
Department of Public Safety can revoke your commercial license for
life.
