The Texas Administrative License Revocation Program (ALR), was founded to oversee the fair and efficient processing of suspended driver’s licenses of those found to be intoxicated while driving. An Administrative Law Judge (ALJ) from the State Office of Administrative Hearings conducts an ALR hearing. After hearing both sides of the case, rulings on preliminary matters are made, along with the final decision. If the ALR provides sufficient evidence to prove its case, the Administrative Law Judge will issue an order to suspend the driver's license. If, however, there is not enough evidence to support a DWI, the driver’s license will not be suspended. Texas law requires that you request an ALR hearing within 15 days of the date you were served with a Notice of Suspension. Until the actual hearing, a person will be allowed to drive. However, after the hearing, if a person’s driving license is suspended, they may then petition for an Occupational Driver’s License.

If you think you have received a DWI unfairly or need to know more about how a DWI will affect you, contact Bailey & Galyen today. Our experienced lawyers can help you get through this difficult time, while helping you preserve your rights.
