Consequences of a Failed or Refused Breathalyzer Test Result in Texas

When an individual is arrested for DWI in Texas, this brings two separate legal actions. The first action is a criminal charge and prosecution brought by the area district attorney's office or the local county law enforcement department. The Texas Department of Public Safety administrative office brings the second action.  This action will result in an automatic suspension of your Texas driver’s license should you fail or refuse to submit to a field sobriety test or Breathalyzer.  You may be able to avoid an automatic suspension of your Texas driver's license if you make a formal request to the Texas Department of Public Safety for a hearing within 15 days of your arrest.  The Law Office of Alex Tyra, P.C., can assist you in making a demand for such hearings, walk you through the legal process and represent you at the Texas Department of Public Safety administrative hearing.

• Fines up to $2,000
• Up to 180 days in jail

• Second and third convictions in Texas have more severe consequences
