TEXAS DWI / DUI

DWI (driving while intoxicated or impaired) and DUI (driving under the influence) apply equally to cars, motorcycles, and boats. Although these terms are commonly used interchangeably, under Texas law there are actually subtle differences – mainly age. Whether you are a minor or an adult, it takes an experienced, detail-oriented attorney to discern what factors of a DWI arrest can become the focal point of an aggressive defense. Dallas attorney Don Tittle has more than 25 years of experience and has tried hundreds of DWl cases. He approaches DWI / DUI cases with a commitment to serving his clients’ best interests and by relying on his in-depth understanding of DWl law and criminal court procedure.

YOU DO HAVE OPTIONS

Although an arrest for driving while intoxicated is very serious, a person facing a DWI / DUI charge should not feel hopeless. There are several options. The Law Offices of Don Tittle, PLLC, offers a strategic, dynamic defense to clients facing DUI or DWI charges. Don Tittle will closely examine the facts — including the Breathalyzer results, the police video, the police report, and any additional details surrounding the arrest or court file. By taking this in-depth approach, Mr. Tittle is prepared to advise his clients on how best to proceed. In some instances, the best course of action is to contest the charge and, when appropriate, motions to suppress, to dismiss or to exclude evidence should be filed after everything from the initial stop by the police to the manner in which the sobriety tests were given have been carefully scrutinized. Another option is to take the case to trial. Your chances of being found not guilty after a trial are better than you might think. Some or all of the evidence may not be admissible at trial. A thorough cross examination of the State’s witnesses greatly increases the chance of a not guilty verdict. Mr. Tittle is an accomplished trial lawyer who has established himself as one of the top trial lawyers practicing in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. In addition to a thorough understanding of DWl law, Mr. Tittle has earned a reputation for integrity and fairness among other lawyers and judges and has tried hundreds of DWl cases before juries and judges. While Mr. Tittle thoroughly explores the option of going to trial before he discusses plea bargains, in certain circumstances the best option for a client is to minimize the damage through a properly negotiated plea bargain.

LOSS OF DRIVING PRIVILEGES

Many different issues are involved in the process of keeping a person’s driver’s license or applying for an occupational license following a DWI conviction. At the Law Offices of Don Tittle, PLLC, attorney Don Tittle can help you navigate this process. After a DWI arrest, the Department of Public Safety (DPS) will initiate proceedings to suspend driving privileges. You have 15 days from the date of the arrest to request a hearing on the driver’s license suspension. If you fail to request a hearing within the 15 days, the suspension is automatic. Because of these strict deadlines, it is imperative to retain a lawyer as soon as possible following a DWI arrest. By promptly scheduling an Administrative License Revocation (ALR) hearing, Mr. Tittle will work diligently to prevent the suspension of the driver’s license. Even so, most people who have their driver’s license suspended following a DWI arrest are eligible to request an occupational driver’s license. This allows an individual to drive during certain hours, as long as the driving is for work, educational, or essential household needs. Mr. Tittle helps a client move through this process swiftly so that little time is lost and the client can continue working and living his or her life.
