Elysian Fields, TX DWI Law Firms & Lawyers

As a DUI attorney I can't answer this specifically, I notice this was also posted on an employment law forum, they will have the better legal answer. The nature of your job, job requirements and whether you have a contract will determine whether or not you have to provide the requested information. If you are an "at-will" employee I think you don't have to provide the information, however your employer may choose to terminate you too.

You are correct with respect to the range of punishment on a 1st DWI. However, there is a possible enhancement issue. If your breath/blood test is over a .15 they can enhance you. What that means is that you would be facing the same range of punishment someone would face for a 2nd DWI, which is up to 1 year in jail, and a $4K fine. If it's not the enhancement issue, and you have no priors, they may have your name in the TCIC/NCIC check mixed up with someone else's.  In my opinion, you shouldn't be asking about the range of punishment until you know if they can even prove their case, though. I always inform my DWI clients of the range of punishment. But, I also make sure they understand the most important thing to do is to see if their evidence is sufficient to convict you. If it's not, or if you don't know, you need to hire an attorney who can/will do that for you.    

If you were arrested and charged with DWI within the last 15 days, you need to contact a DWI attorney immediately. The ALR suspension does not take effect until after the expiration of 40 days after the arrest. So, if you are within that window, your privilege to drive is not yet suspended. If you are still inside the 15 day window, your attorney can request an ALR hearing to fight to prevent the suspension. The request will toll the suspension period.
