ADMINISTRATIVE LICENSE REVOCATION
Allow San Antonio DWI Lawyer to Protect Your License
If you have been arrested for DWI, and you either refused a blood or breathalyzer test or submitted a blood OR BREATH sample with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) in excess of 0.08, the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) will suspend your driver's license during a process called Administrative License Revocation (ALR).
Understanding the Process
ALR is completely unrelated to your criminal case in the criminal court in which it has been filed. The ALR is very important to your criminal case because it can serve as a treasure trove of defense evidence that can be used by your DWI attorney, not to mention the possibility of avoiding the inconvenient driver's license suspension. The ALR hearing is the most important reason why you need to retain an aggressive DWI defense lawyer immediately after you have been arrested for DWI.
Important notes about the ALR process:
- You only have 15 days from the date of the notice of suspension to request an ALR hearing
- An automatic driver's license suspension goes into effect the 40th day after the notice was served if you do not request a hearing
- If the court has appointed you a criminal defense lawyer for your DWI, the court will not pay the lawyer to handle the ALR hearing
Additional Benefits of the Hearing
Requesting the ALR hearing can also be helpful in terms of fighting your DWI case. In the ALR hearing, the police officers that were involved in arresting you are required to testify about the reasons they stopped you and why they decided to arrest you for DWI.
The hearing testimony is transcribed by a court reporter and can be obtained for use in your defense of the DWI in criminal court, where the officers will likely testify about your case a second time, possibly even years later.
If you or a loved one has recently been arrested for DWI, you should immediately contact an experienced criminal attorney in San Antonio to keep your driver's license. Call (210) 201-7622 today for a consultation!

"I would highly recommend him if ever you need an attorney."
I contacted Mr. Ambrosino about an issue we were having about two months ago. He was very responsive and always easy to communicate with. If ever I had a question during the process, he was quick to respond with an answer. He was kind enough to even email me while on vacation with his own family which showed he truly cares about his clients. Mr. Ambrosino took the time to educate me on the current laws and the court process. He sent me all the court filings and paperwork for my own files and always kept me up to date. In the end we received the outcome we were hoping for and I attribute that to Mr. Ambrosino’s hard work and knowledge. I would highly recommend him if ever you need an attorney. Thank you for your help Mr. Ambrosino.- C. S. -

Mr. Roberto Ambrosino is an amazing lawyer!!! I can not speak highly enough he is quick, efficient, and professional! I did everything online, through mail, and the phone. He kept in touch about every aspect of my case. After I sent documents and made a payment he approached the judge soon after and my case was closed. I am extremely pleased with his services. I highly recommend him. Now a few years later I reached out to him again regarding obtaining documents and again he is very communicative and on top of everything. I am a very satisfied customer.- Kasia S. -

"Mr. Ambrosino is a true professional. He truly delivers on his word."
Mr. Ambrosino is a true professional. He truly delivers on his word. When the prosecutor pushed back to prevent my acceptance into the PreTrial Diversions Program, Mr. Ambrosino fought back and earned my acceptance into PTD. Once I am done with PTD, he will be expunging my charge so that my record is clean for graduate school. Thank you Mr. Ambrosino.- Jesse B. -

Mr. Ambrosino is an amazing lawyer. He is very matter of fact and to the point. He was able to get my case dismissed when all other lawyers told me that it would be impossible.
