Can I still get a driving license or not?

You should have received a Notice of Suspension/Temporary Driving Permit. It's good for 40 days as your license if you did not request a hearing within 15 days. A proper hearing request within 15 days "stays" the suspension until an administrative judge makes a final decision, which may take place longer than 40 days. I have had clients tell me that they went to DPS and obtained a replacement plastic license before any suspension takes effect. But that does not protect against a suspension arising out of the DWI arrest.

Yes. None of those (i.e. breath/blood/FST) is a prerequisite to a conviction for DWI. All the State must convince the jury of is that you had lost the normal use of your mental or physical faculties, by reason of the introduction of alcohol, drugs, or some combination. Usually a case like this would be based on the driving facts (e.g. a car wreck or other bad driving facts observed by a witness) or observations made by the police officer. A good defense lawyer will have an argument for every little b/s thing they try to come up with. Ultimately, it's up to the jury, though.

If she was convicted, plead guilty, or took probation for a 2nd DWI prior to picking up the current charge in Texas, yes. Otherwise, no.
