You need an attorney you can trust. You need a local DWI lawyer who knows the ropes in the area. You need an attorney who keeps up with the latest scientific and legal nuisances of DWI cases. I am an attorney that encompases all of these qualities. I am an attorney that encompasses all of these qualities. Unlike most attorneys who handle many areas of law, or even "general criminal defense attorneys, " almost every one of the cases of which I am retained are for DWI, DUI, and Intoxication related offenses.
This enables me to give you the best possible representation for your Texas DWI or DUI case. Like most people, you are probably concerned with the prospect of having to hire an attorney. Because of this, I offer a Free DWI Consultation. If you decide I am not the attorney for you, you owe me nothing.

At the time of your arrest, the police officer likely presented you with a Notice of Suspension/Temporary Driving Permit (DIC - 25).
Hopefully you have thoroughly read this document and are aware that your driver's license will automatically be suspended 40 days from the date of arrest (or the date you were served with the notice, whichever is later) unless you or your attorney requests a hearing in the manner prescribed by law.
The importance of requesting this hearing can not be overstated.

The Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus test is the first test that is supposed to be administered by the police officer.
This is the "Pen Test" where a pen (or other stimulus) is passed in front of your face back and forth in order for the officer to determine if HGN is present in your eyes.
