Welcome to the Bennie E. Ray Home Page on Driving
While Intoxicated (DWI) and Driving Under the Influence (DUI). DWI and DUI
are different offenses in Texas, unlike many other states. This website is designed to give you an
overview of DWI and DUI law only in Texas. Do not rely on it for legal
advice. Every case is different depending on the facts and circumstances
surrounding the arrest. If you have been arrested, we recommend that you
consult with a licensed attorney to discuss the specifics of your case. WARNING! If you have taken a police officers’
requested test(s), you MAY be facing license suspension or revocation
if your breath, blood or urine test result exceeded the states prohibited
level. Your license may be at risk of
suspension. The license suspension is
AUTOMATIC…UNLESS you request a hearing on the issue, in writing. WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) DAYS after
receiving notice of suspension from the arresting agency on a Department of
Public Safety approved form (generally received on the day of arrest). If a hearing has not been timely
requested, the suspension will automatically begin on the fortieth (40th)
day after notice was received. If a
hearing is requested, no action will be taken regarding suspension until
after the hearing and all appeals have occurred. In order to ensure that your
rights are protected, you need competent, knowledgeable legal counsel on your
side. We understand the serious
nature of your situation and want to help you deal with the stressful and
complex issues of a drunk driving arrest.
