How Do I Prevent My Driver’s License/Commercial Driver’s License From Being Suspended If I Failed Or Refused The Breath Test?
If you are arrested for and charged with DWI, there are two ways to prevent your driver’s license from being suspended: Timely request and win an ALR hearing; or Even if you lose the ALR hearing, you can still prevent your license from being suspended by being found “not guilty” of the DWI charge. You have 15 days from the day that you received written notice that your driver’s license will be suspended to request an ALR hearing-not 15 days from the date of arrest. Usually an officer will serve this written notice on you after you are arrested for DWI and either fail or refuse chemical testing. If the officer fails to serve you with notice of your license suspension, the DPS will mail a notice to you, via certified mail, that your driver’s license is subject to suspension. This is important because instead of the 15 days to file for a hearing from the date of your arrest, you now have 15 days from the date you receive the DPS notice. If you fail to request a hearing, you waive that rig
