Dui in colorado, not sentenced yet, can I move to texas and transfer my dui before my court date arraignment due to hardship and work?

If you move to Texas PRIOR to your sentencing date, Colorado law allows the judge to impose a sentence that is just a fine and community service work.  It depends on the county whether they follow this procedure or not, however. Or if you move to Texas after the sentencing, probation can be transfered there under the interstate Compact (a rather complicated process that can take several months to complete).  You will have to get an alcoho0l evaluation in Texas and do whatever is recommended there - if you have not completed your alcohol program before moving - you will be starting all over again. So, the short answeer is you can move, but it is complicated. A lawyer could really help you with this.

DUI/DWI lawyer at The Law Offices of Steven J. Pisani, LLC
I do not have all of the facts in your case, but it sounds like you will be charged with a DWAI and a defective tail lamp. The plea offer may be just to drop the defective tail lamp and plead guilty to the DWAI. A first time offense of DWAI typically carries with it 1 year of probation, alcohol classes, community services, court fines and costs.

If you had been summoned to court or were subpoenaed to court, the judge can issue a bench warrant to have you picked up and held until he can see you.
