Port Arthur, TX DWI Law Firms & Lawyers

It does not matter what state your license is from for a DUI revocation. However, a couple of things must happen in order for you to lose your license. If you took a blood test, your driving privilege will probably be valid until the results come back. They will send a notice to either the last address you gave the police or the address on your license. The notice is to request a hearing to preserve your driving privilege. You will have 7 days from the date of the notice to request the hearing. If you do not request a hearing within 7 days of receiving the notice, you will lose your driving privilege automatically. If you request a hearing, your driving privilege will remain in effect until your hearing date or you hear otherwise from the DMV.

You're in luck, you don't need to find out what you are looking at without a lawyer, because you are entitled to one if you cannot afford it. Umlawful carry of a weapon is a class A misdemeanor, up to 1yr in jail, up to a $4k fine. Assault family violence is a class A misdemeanor as well, unless there is an allegation of choking, then it is a 3rd degree felony, 2 to 10 yrs in prison, up to a $10k fine. If you decide to proceed without an attorney and represent yourself pro se? You are looking at the same potential punishments as if you had an attorney, but the outcome of your case may end up much worse. No one is wise to represent themselves in a criminal case. If you cannot afford a lawyer, a court appointed lawyer is your best bet.    Good luck.
