College Station DWI/DUI Advocating for the Accused

College Station DWI/DUI Attorney

Strategic DWI Defense Grounded in How Arrests Actually Happen

A DWI or DUI arrest in College Station, Texas sets two legal processes in motion at once: the criminal case and an administrative proceeding that can suspend your driver’s license before your case ever reaches a courtroom. Acting quickly matters. The decisions you make in the first 15 days after an arrest can protect your driving privileges and preserve your defense options. A conviction can affect your employment, housing, and academic standing, among other things.

At The Andreski Law Firm, DWI attorney Donnie Andreski brings 20 years of law enforcement experience as a former police officer and detective to every case he takes. That background gives him a working knowledge of how DWI stops are conducted, how field sobriety tests are administered, and where law enforcement procedures can break down. He uses that knowledge to identify investigative errors, anticipate the prosecution’s strategy, and build a defense grounded in how arrests actually happen in College Station, not just how the law reads on paper. He’s available 24/7 to clients facing DWI charges and offers free initial consultations so you can understand your options without financial pressure.

DWI & DUI Charges for Texas A&M Students

College Station is home to Texas A&M University, and university life includes a steady calendar of social events where alcohol is present. For students under 21, the legal exposure is serious: a single drink before driving is enough to trigger a charge under Texas’s Zero Tolerance law.

Common situations that can lead to a student DWI or DUI charge include:

  • Football games
  • Parties
  • Campfires
  • Expos
  • BBQs

Under Texas’s Zero Tolerance law (Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code § 106.041), any driver under 21 can be charged with driving under the influence if there is a detectable amount of alcohol in their system. The threshold isn’t 0.08. It’s any alcohol at all.

A first-time DUI for a driver under 21 is a Class C misdemeanor carrying:

  • A fine of up to $500
  • 20 to 40 hours of community service
  • 60-day driver’s license suspension
  • Mandatory alcohol awareness class

The consequences don’t stop at criminal penalties. A charge can affect a student’s academic standing, financial aid eligibility, and future employment. Attorney Donnie Andreski represents university students facing DWI and DUI charges and understands how much is at stake beyond the courtroom.

Is Your Driver’s License Suspended After a DWI/DUI Arrest?

A DWI or DUI arrest can trigger an immediate driver’s license suspension, separate from anything that happens in the criminal case. Under Texas’s implied consent law, any driver lawfully arrested for DWI has already given implicit consent to a breath or blood test. If the test shows a BAC of 0.08 or higher, or any alcohol for a driver under 21, the officer takes your license on the spot and issues a temporary driving permit.

Suspension periods for a first offense are:

  • At least 90 days (adult driver, BAC of 0.08 or over)
  • At least 60 days (driver under 21 with any detectable alcohol)
  • At least 180 days for refusing the chemical test, regardless of age

Under Texas law, you have 15 days from the date you receive the suspension notice to request an Administrative License Revocation (ALR) hearing with the Texas Department of Public Safety. Miss that deadline and the suspension takes effect automatically on the 40th day, with no further opportunity to contest it. Requesting the hearing within 15 days stays the suspension, so you can continue driving until the hearing is decided.
