Houston DWI Lawyer Protecting Your License & Your Future
A DWI arrest in Texas triggers two battles — the criminal case and the fight for your driver’s license. Most people don’t realize you only have 15 days from the date of arrest to request an ALR (Administrative License Revocation) hearing, or your license will be automatically suspended. That’s why taking fast action matters. At the Law Offices of Erik Smith, we move immediately to protect your driving privileges, challenge the traffic stop, and scrutinize every step law enforcement took — just like Houston’s top DWI defense firms emphasize.
This page is your hub for understanding DWI charges, possible penalties, ignition interlock requirements, license suspension timelines, and the defenses that can make or break your case. Whether this is your first DWI or you’re dealing with more serious allegations such as a DWI with a high BAC, accident, or child passenger, we provide an aggressive, strategic defense designed to protect your freedom, your career, and your future. When your license and reputation are on the line, you need a Houston DWI lawyer who acts fast — and fights hard.
What should I do if I get arrested for a DWI?
If you have been arrested for DWI, it is important to take immediate action to protect your rights and fight back against the charges. Here are some things you can do to help your case:
1. Contact The Law Office of Erik Smith. With years of experience in DWI defense, Erik Smith can provide you with the skilled representation you need to fight your charges and protect your future.
2. Attend all court hearings and meetings with your attorney. Your attorney can help you prepare for each court appearance and will work with you to develop a strong defense strategy.
3. Refrain from speaking with law enforcement or prosecutors without your attorney present. Any statements you make could be used against you, so it is important to let your attorney do the talking on your behalf.
4. Provide your attorney with all relevant information and documentation about your case, including police reports, breathalyzer results, and any witness statements.
5. Explore all possible defense strategies, including challenging the accuracy of field sobriety tests and breathalyzer results, arguing that you were not driving under the influence, or negotiating a plea deal.
6. Take steps to address any underlying issues that may have led to your DWI arrest, such as alcohol addiction or mental health issues. This can strengthen your case and help you secure a more favorable outcome.
