Administrative License Revocation Hearings (ALR)
After a DWI arrest, one of the first and most urgent issues you face is the potential suspension of your driver’s license. The Administrative License Revocation (ALR) process is completely separate from your criminal DWI case — yet many people don’t realize this.
A common misconception is that the ALR hearing is automatically handled as part of the criminal DWI process. It is not. The ALR is a civil administrative proceeding through the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) that focuses solely on your driving privileges. This hearing determines whether your license will be suspended — not whether you are guilty or innocent of DWI.
At the Law Office of Lindsay Vanik, we act quickly to protect your right to drive. We’ll request your hearing, review the evidence, and, when appropriate, subpoena the arresting officer. These hearings not only help defend your license but can also uncover valuable information to support your DWI defense — including inconsistencies in the officer’s report or issues with testing procedures.
It’s important to understand that while you may have been provided court-appointed counsel for your DWI case, that attorney typically will not represent you in your ALR hearing. This is a separate process that requires its own representation. If you do not currently have an attorney for your ALR, our firm can help ensure your rights — and your ability to drive — are protected.

It walks you through every step of the process, your rights, and how to protect your driving privileges.
