37 DWI defence attorneys are listed in San Antonio. A Texas arrest starts two proceedings at once: the criminal case in the Bexar County courts, and an administrative licence revocation action.
The licence side has a hard deadline. You have fifteen days from the notice of suspension to request an ALR hearing, and if the request is not made the suspension takes effect automatically. That hearing is also the defence's first chance to question the arresting officer under oath, which is why experienced counsel treat it as more than a formality.
Ask whether the attorney requests ALR hearings as a matter of course, and what they do with blood test cases — Bexar County uses blood draws heavily, and the analysis is challengeable.
Lawyers listed in San Antonio also cover Personal Injury (63), Criminal Law (42) and Family Law (42). The same practice elsewhere in Texas: Houston (15), Dallas (13) and Conroe (12). Across Texas the directory lists 125 attorneys in this practice; San Antonio is 1st by their number among 10 cities.
