License Suspension in Texas

Texas has an Administrative License Revocation (ALR) program, which allows the State to suspend an individual’s license swiftly after their DWI arrest. This can apply to drivers who refused to submit to a chemical test to determine blood alcohol Level or those who took a test and it was determined they were over the legal limit of blood alcohol concentration.

Within this system, when a driver is arrested under suspicion of driving while intoxicated they must submit to a test. When the refuse or fail, as mentioned above, their license will be immediately suspended and will not be reinstated for 90 days for first-time offenders or 1 year for those who have been arrested for a DWI before.
