Is there an Appeal from Department of Public Safety hearing?
If a person has a hearing at the Department of Public Safety, and loses, there is an appeal from that decision. That appeal, is to the District Court in the County where the Arrest occurred. When an appeal is filed, a $250 bond can be posted, and the revocation will continue to be stayed and you will be permitted to drive until that appeal is complete. The person will be allowed to drive at all times and for any reason, 24 hours a day, and 7 days a week with no restriction. That appeal is heard by a District Judge in the County of the arrest. The Court can either set the revocation aside, sustain the revocation, or sustain the revocation and grant a modification allowing the person to drive a motor vehicle with an Interlock (Breath tester) device on their vehicle. The court may also grant the person the authority to drive a vehicle which is owned or leased by their employer, without the necessity of an Interlock Devise.
