Description

The Texas justice system is notoriously messy, especially when it involves a DWI. In this episode of So You Got Arrested, attorneys Jacob Lindberg and James Heath from BRCK Defense pull back the curtain on the immediate and long-term consequences of a driving while intoxicated arrest in San Antonio and throughout Texas.

From the moment you’re asked for a specimen to the complexities of keeping your job while your license is suspended, Jacob and James break down the "junk science" of field sobriety tests, the reality of "No Refusal" blood warrants, and the strategic moves that can protect your future.

In this episode, you’ll learn about:

• The Double Suspension: Understanding the difference between a post-arrest license suspension and a post-conviction suspension.
• Breath vs. Blood: What happens when you refuse a breathalyzer and how "blood warrants" work in rural vs. urban jurisdictions.
• The 14-Day Deadline: Why the Administrative License Revocation (ALR) hearing is your only chance to contest a suspension.
• Occupational Driver’s Licenses (ODL): How to keep driving to work and school even while suspended.
• The "Super Fine": The hidden costs of a final conviction that can reach up to $6,000.
• The Three-Strike Rule: How Texas law enhances DWIs from misdemeanors to serious third-strike felonies.

Whether you're currently facing charges or just want to understand your rights under Texas law, this episode provides the "real talk" you need to navigate a difficult situation.
