L and L Law Group Outlines Texas DWI License Hearing Request Deadlines

The Frisco criminal defense firm explains how license suspension runs alongside a criminal DWI case and offers free, confidential consultations.

FRISCO, TX, UNITED STATES, November 1, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- L and L Law Group, PLLC, a criminal defense firm based in Frisco, Texas, is providing information about the administrative license hearing deadlines that may follow a driving while intoxicated (DWI) arrest. The guidance addresses the separate criminal and administrative proceedings and the deadlines for requesting a hearing under Texas law.

A DWI arrest can result in criminal charges and a separate administrative proceeding concerning driving privileges. The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) administers license suspensions through the Administrative License Revocation (ALR) program. The administrative process operates independently of the criminal case.

Understanding the License Hearing Deadlines

Under the ALR program, a driver's license may be subject to suspension following a refusal to submit to certain alcohol testing or a test result meeting the applicable legal threshold.

When a suspension notice is served at the time of arrest, DPS generally requires an ALR hearing request within 15 days of service. Certain cases involving blood-test results received after an arrest follow a different timeline. According to DPS guidance, a hearing request may be submitted within 20 days of the mailing date of a subsequent suspension notice.

The applicable deadline depends on the circumstances and the notice issued by DPS. Failure to request a hearing within the required period can result in the administrative suspension taking effect without a hearing.

"After an arrest, people tend to focus on the court date and overlook the license notice," said Reggie London, co-founding attorney of L and L Law Group. "That deadline can come up fast, so one of the first things we review in a consultation is the paperwork they were handed that night."

ALR hearings are conducted through the State Office of Administrative Hearings. The proceedings address the administrative suspension of driving privileges rather than the criminal DWI charge. A hearing request provides an opportunity to contest the proposed suspension.
