Your license can be suspended 2 ways from a DWI arrest: 1) Administrative License Revocation (ALR)- If you are arrested for DWI and refuse a breath or blood test, your license can be suspended 6 months; if you voluntarily provide a sample, it can be suspended for 90 days. You can request a hearing on the license revocation within 15 days of arrest or it is waived. If no hearing is requested, the suspension starts 45 days after arrest. If you request a hearing, your license may not get suspended - you would need a lawyer for this.   2) DWI conviction- 1st offense DWI conviction your license can be suspended from 90 days to 1-year.   If your license is suspended, you can obtain a license to drive during the suspension (occupational drivers license).

What to expect at admonishment hearing for probation violation

Richard Keith Oliver
Answered by attorney Richard Keith Oliver (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at The Law Office of Rick Oliver
The answer depends on a couple of things: (1) what court are you in? (2) is there a non-alcohol-related explanation for the high blow into the GI?  Don't make the mistake of thinking that compliance with all other terms will do you any good. As a particularly crotchety old Judge growled at me once: "It only takes one [violation]!"  Your probation can be perfect. But, if the reason your GI blow was high was because you were drinking, you should expect bad things to happen with your probation.

Do I have to mention a pending paraphernalia charge at my preliminary hearing for a DUI?

They would need your permission unless they obtained a court order. You don't have to testify at a preliminary hearing. You should discuss this with your attorney.
