Ranger, TX DWI Law Firms & Lawyers

It depends on the PO, usually. Also, it depends on what the person is on parole for. If they're on parole for a felony DWI, my guess is a new DWI allegation would certainly violate them. It would probably be a big issue if he/she is on parole for a drug case, since the two are closely related. The biggest thing he/she needs to worry about at this point, is hiring the very best attorney they can to fight the DWI. If they win, they'll have a stronger argument before the Board of Pardons and Parole.

First off, I am so sorry this happened.  It is always difficult for a parent to see their child go through the system, especially when he shows so much promise in completing his education.  Above all, your son's goal should be keeping it off of his permanent record.  The first step is to see if the arrest is a case the government can win.  A good criminal defense lawyer may be able to get the charges dismissed entirely.  If that isn't an option, there is a program called "DWI Pretrial Intervention" by which your son would be supervised for a year and, if he completes everything he is required to complete, the charges will be dismissed at the end.  Not everyone qualifies for this, so it is important to have a lawyer who understands the ins and outs of the program.   All of these options will require an excellent criminal defense/DWI lawyer familiar with the practice where your son is being charged.  Many of us will offer you a free consultation for your sons case, and will give you advice on how to proceed.  Meet with a few lawyers and hire the one you believe is best suited to keep your son's record clean. Good luck, hope I helped! Regards, Cordt Akers Criminal Defense Lawyer

If it was a state charge, I doubt that the FBI would have any information on it. You could request a copy of your file through the freedom of information act.
