A Strong Defense To DUI Charges Every year tens of thousands of Texans are arrested for DUI. Anyone can face drunk driving charges, regardless of race, age, sex or other factors. A DUI conviction will damage your life in many ways. You could face fines, prison or jail time, probation and other serious penalties. Not to mention, a DUI charge could prevent you from driving, which is very inconvenient. If you have been arrested, your first step should be to contact an experienced lawyer. For years, people in Edinburg and Hidalgo County have called on The Law Office Of Jorge Muñoz, PLLC. We defend people facing both misdemeanor and felony DUI charges, and are Taking Action In Administrative License Revocation (ALR) Hearings One of the biggest consequences of DUI is losing your ability to drive. If you failed a breath or blood test or if you refused to submit to a breath or blood test, you face driver’s license suspension before any criminal proceedings. In Texas, you only have 15 days from the date of your arrest to set up a hearing with the Department of Public Safety (DPS). The outcome of this hearing, known as the Administrative License Revocation (ALR) hearing will determine if you can keep your license. Our law firm represents clients in ALR hearings as part of our DUI defense practice. Whether you refused or failed a breath or blood test, we will explore all possible defenses.

Many times, his investigation will reveal weaknesses in the case, which he can use to achieve positive outcomes, such as a dismissal or reduction of the charges. He is a skilled negotiator and has successfully negotiated with the prosecutor on many occasions. While Jorge Muñoz has a strong track record in negotiations, he will take your case to trial if that is likely to lead to the best outcome.
