Fort Bend County
DWI Defense Lawyer

You’re Not Alone

If you’ve been charged with Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) in Fort Bend County, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed and unsure of what to do next. A DWI conviction can affect your freedom, your job, your reputation—even your ability to drive.

At The Law Office of Ross Torres, we provide aggressive and personalized defense for DWI cases. From the moment you call us, we take action to protect your rights and help you move forward with confidence.

Understanding DWI Charges in Texas

In Texas, DWI is more than just a traffic ticket—it’s a criminal offense. You can be arrested for DWI if your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.08% or higher. But even with a lower BAC, police can still charge you if they believe your ability to drive was impaired.

After a DWI arrest, most people are booked, post bond, and receive a court date for arraignment. But there’s more happening behind the scenes—especially when it comes to your driver’s license.

Act Fast: You Have 15 Days to Save Your License

One of the most urgent issues is the Administrative License Revocation (ALR) process. You have only 15 days from the date of your arrest to request a hearing to fight the automatic suspension of your driver’s license.

Miss this deadline, and your license could be suspended—even before your case is heard in court. That’s why it’s critical to contact a Fort Bend DWI attorney right away.

First-Time DWI in Fort Bend County? We Can Help

A first-time DWI charge is frightening, especially if you’ve never dealt with the criminal justice system. The good news? First-time offenders often qualify for programs like:

● Deferred adjudication
● Pre-trial diversion
● Charge reductions

At The Law Office of Ross Torres, we work directly with you to evaluate every legal strategy available to protect your future. Our top priority is helping you avoid a criminal conviction whenever possible, whether that means negotiating for reduced charges, seeking a case dismissal, or fighting for an acquittal at trial. We’re committed to keeping your record clean, minimizing penalties, and guiding you through every step of the legal process with clear, honest advice.

Facing a Repeat or Felony DWI? We Take on the Tough Cases

If you’ve been arrested for a DWI and have a prior conviction—or if your case involves aggravating circumstances such as having a child passenger, a high blood alcohol concentration (BAC), or an accident that caused injury—you could be facing felony DWI charges in Texas. These enhanced charges come with severe consequences, including extended license suspension, steep fines, mandatory ignition interlock devices, and the real possibility of time in prison. At The Law Office of Ross Torres, we understand how high the stakes are. Our firm has the experience and determination to challenge the evidence, question law enforcement procedures, and develop a strong, strategic defense tailored to your situation.

We understand how local prosecutors handle DWI cases and what strategies work in each courtroom. This local knowledge gives you a real advantage—from negotiations to trial.
