Kirby, TX DWI Law Firms & Lawyers

It depends on the policies regarding this program, these are set by the county department of corrections. I have never had a client arrested on the spot for failing to enroll in the community service in a timely fashion. You should consult your lawyer regarding the policies in your county.

Your license can be suspended 2 ways from a DWI arrest: 1) Administrative License Revocation (ALR)- If you are arrested for DWI and refuse a breath or blood test, your license can be suspended 6 months; if you voluntarily provide a sample, it can be suspended for 90 days. You can request a hearing on the license revocation within 15 days of arrest or it is waived. If no hearing is requested, the suspension starts 45 days after arrest. If you request a hearing, your license may not get suspended - you would need a lawyer for this.   2) DWI conviction- 1st offense DWI conviction your license can be suspended from 90 days to 1-year.   If your license is suspended, you can obtain a license to drive during the suspension (occupational drivers license).

Yes, you are legally required to provide it. In any employment situation, the employer has control of the employee on matters that are related to work. I do not know the reasons or the motive for the employer asking for the details of your arrest and conviction records, but I presume that they are related to your work somehow. The employer has an interest in having a sane, sober and sound employee who is productive. If you fail to provide them, the employer can take disciplinary action against you. You cannot assert the right of privacy or 5th amendment privilege either because you have been convicted and those records are a matter of publc records now. Good luck.
