Olney, TX DWI Law Firms & Lawyers

Each case is different and requires individual review. In response to your DUI Post: I am a criminal defense attorney with more than 17 years experience on DUI cases. If you would like to discuss your case, please contact me. Some important information- DMV Issues - If you have been served with a Notice of Revocation, then you have 7 days to request a hearing. Please do that immediately by going to your local DMV office, tell them you got a DUI and you want to request a hearing. They will give you a form. DO NOT REQUEST THE OFFICER. We can do that later if we choose to, but most often it means you will lose. The receipt DMV gives you allows you to drive until the day of the hearing. Request a copy of the Expressed Consent Packet. Evidence Issues - It would be valuable to immediately request all police reports, including all audio and video recordings from dash recorders, lapel recorders and police station recorders from the police agency that arrested you and the prosecution. Include in your written request a statement that you believe the audio and video recordings are ?material and exculpatory.? Make sure you get a copy of your request with the date, signature and name of the person that you give it to. Representation begins when client pays attorney an agreed upon retainer and returns a signed fee agreement.

You got bad advice. If there's an outstanding warrant for your arrest for a DWI, it will be there forever, until you get it taken care of. To be clear, a "DUI" in Texas is a ticket issued to people under 21 who are suspected of driving under the influence. "DWI" is the over 21 charge, and is more serious. If all you have outstanding is the DUI ticket, you should just retain a TX attorney to handle it for you. Since you're living out of State now, your attorney may be able to get the warrant lifted, get you on a docket, make an appearance on your behalf, work out a resolution to the case, and all you'd have to do is mail in a check for the fees/court costs (if it can be worked out that way). The worst thing in the world to do would be to ignore it.
