Your Defense Against DWI Charges Strong Representation When It Matters Most
A DWI charge can have serious consequences, but you don’t have to face it alone. Our experienced team will fight to protect your rights, minimize penalties, and help you take control of your future.

We Can Help With ALR Hearings!

If you were arrested for DWI in Texas, you have 15 days from the date of your arrest to request an administrative license revocation (ALR) hearing. An ALR hearing is a separate matter from your criminal DWI case. Failing to request this hearing will result in an automatic suspension of your driver’s license, but Smith & Vinson Law Firm can help you avoid this outcome!

It's crucial to understand that ALR hearings can be a valuable opportunity to contest the suspension. Our DWI attorneys in Round Rock are adept at arguing for your rights during these hearings. We carefully examine the circumstances surrounding your arrest to identify any legal deficiencies in the state's case against you. By attending the ALR hearing, we may successfully prevent the suspension of your driver's license, helping you maintain your independence and ability to work. This proactive approach not only supports your freedom but also sets a solid groundwork for your DWI defense.

  • If you’ve been arrested for a DWI in Round Rock, it’s critical to understand your options as you navigate the legal system. First, consult a knowledgeable DWI attorney who can provide advice tailored to the specifics of your case. Your attorney can review the evidence, explore defenses, and negotiate with prosecutors. Options may include entering a plea bargain to reduce charges or penalties, challenging the validity of the arrest, or preparing for trial. At Smith & Vinson, we offer personalized consultations that focus on your needs, ensuring you understand every possible legal avenue available.
  • A skilled DWI lawyer plays a crucial role in mitigating penalties associated with drunk driving charges. Attorneys can analyze arrest protocols, challenge evidence discrepancies, or question the accuracy of sobriety tests and breathalyzer results. Moreover, they can negotiate with prosecutors for reduced charges or alternative sentencing options, such as probation or community service, instead of jail time. Additionally, a lawyer familiar with Round Rock’s legal landscape can provide specific defense strategies that take local court tendencies into account, potentially offering you a better chance at minimizing the impact of a DWI on your life.
  • Expunction or sealing of a DWI from your criminal record in Texas can be a complex process. Generally, an arrest for which you were falsely charged or where charges were dismissed or acquitted can be expunged, but convictions cannot. There might be specific conditions under which a DWI conviction can be sealed, limiting access by non-governmental bodies, through an order of nondisclosure. Consulting with a qualified attorney, such as those at Smith & Vinson, will provide you with information on your eligibility for such relief and assist in navigating the procedural requirements to achieve it.
  • Round Rock offers several resources and programs that assist individuals charged with DWI to cope with the legal and personal ramifications. Organizations like the Texas Department of Transportation provide information on educational programs, while local rehab facilities offer support for substance abuse issues. Community programs may provide counseling, driving safety courses, and rehabilitation opportunities aimed at preventing repeat offenses. These resources, when utilized alongside legal defense from firms like Smith & Vinson, can provide a holistic approach to overcoming a DWI charge, integrating legal, personal, and educational support into one comprehensive plan.
  • While Texas DWI laws apply statewide, enforcement and judicial processes can vary slightly in Round Rock due to local policies or regional focus on certain issues. For example, local police might place particular emphasis on roadside checks during events or holidays. Understanding these local enforcement nuances is crucial for building a robust defense strategy. Attorneys familiar with Round Rock's legal climate, such as those at Smith & Vinson, use this insight to anticipate prosecution tactics and prepare defenses accordingly. Knowledge of local court practices and the community’s standards play a significant role in effectively navigating these charges.
