"I got hit with a plethora of charges that could’ve seriously jeopardized my future.

Shane was swift and incredibly thorough. In the end, all four of my charges (including one felony charge) were dismissed or rejected. Thanks to Mr. Phelps I no longer have any legal actions against me. I would highly recommend Shane Phelps Law if you want the absolute best chance of getting the best results possible in your legal situation."

"Shane Phelps provided counsel in a DWI case arising in College Station involving my college-aged child while a student at Texas A&M.

Ultimately, he achieved a very good outcome including waiver of the DWI charge, and has allowed my child to move on to life after graduation with minimal permanent impact with regard to reputation and professional career."

"Great experience working with Shane …. He was kind to my son (with whom he represented),

explained everything thoroughly and gave great advice in a silly charge that could affect him for life. Very knowledgeable & totally knows the “system” in his community. I felt he was truly looking out for my son’s best interest. As a single mom, I felt my son experienced a “life lesson”!"

A DWI arrest in Texas can put your driver’s license, job, and freedom at risk. Under Texas Penal Code §49.04, even a first offense is a Class B misdemeanor carrying up to 180 days in jail and a $2,000 fine, plus a state traffic fine of $3,000 or more if you are convicted.

The clock starts at your arrest. You have only 15 days to request an Administrative License Revocation (ALR) hearing, or your license suspension takes effect automatically.

Shane Phelps Law defends drivers in Bryan, College Station, and across Texas. Our team examines the traffic stop, field sobriety tests, and breath or blood evidence to find weaknesses in the State’s case. Call now or book your free, confidential consultation.

An arrest is not a conviction. Even if your breath or blood test was over 0.08, there may be ways to challenge your Texas DWI case. Our team examines the traffic stop, field sobriety tests, and lab results to find weaknesses in the State’s case and fight to reduce or dismiss your charges.

You have only 15 days to request an ALR hearing to protect your license. Don’t wait. Contact Shane Phelps Law today for your free, confidential consultation.
