Out-of-State Driver DUI

If you have been pulled over and arrested for a DWI/DUI in El Paso, Texas, but are a resident of another state, it is important to have local representation. ADUI/DWI conviction will carry criminal penalties and a suspension of your driving privileges in Texas, and will also be reported to your home state. Your home state may also suspend your license and enforce its own penalties that are in accordance with its specific DWI or DUI laws.

Experienced El Paso DWI/DUI Defense Lawyer

In Texas, you only have a limited amount of time to contact the Department of Public Safety to schedule an Administrative License Revocation(ALR) hearing. This ALR hearing concerns the suspension of your driver’s license. While Texas law enforcement officials cannot confiscate the license of an out-of-state driver, they can suspend or revoke driving privileges in the state, and report that suspension to your home state.

Additionally, your insurance rates are still likely to be impacted, even for an out-of-state DWI/DUI. The inconvenience, travel time and expense need to be also considered when handling an out-of-state offense. Lawyer Ruben Ortiz has the experience to provide helpful legal representation for your drunk driving charges.
