Can my drivers license also be suspended if I am convicted of Driving While Intoxicated?

Yes, if a person receives a final conviction that person’s license may be suspended. The license suspension period ranges from 90 days up to 2 years. A conviction for driving while intoxicated under the age of 21 will result in an automatic suspension for one year, unless the person is on probation and required to have an Ignition Interlock Device..

Note: Generally speaking, in Harris County, if you are a first offender, and you represent yourself and plead guilty to Driving While Intoxicated you will more than likely receive a final conviction and lose your license for one year. Remember, the Assistant District Attorney and the Judge do not represent you, one is there to prosecute you; the other is there to preside over the case. The Judge cannot and will not give you legal advice. Again, having an experienced DWI lawyer represent you is very important to your case!
