If you were arrested for DWI and took an alcohol concentration test that showed that the concentration of alcohol in your breath, blood, or urine was greater than 0.08, that test result started several things in motion.  First, a copy of that test result will be sent to the prosecuting authority and you will be prosecuted for the crime of DWI.  Second, a copy of that test result will be sent to the Department of Public Safety and your driver’s license will be revoked.  To challenge that driver’s license revocation you must petition the court for review through a processes referred to as the Implied Consent process.  You must do this within 30 days of your arrest (regardless of how your criminal case is scheduled.)  These two processes, the Implied Consent and the criminal prosecution, are separate.  To “beat” your DWI you must successfully defend the criminal charges against you and have your license revocation rescinded through the Implied Consent process.  If you only fight on one of these fronts, the DWI will stay on your record. 

The result of your alcohol concentration test can have other consequences as well.  In certain circumstances the test result can trigger forfeiture of your vehicle, impoundment of the license plates on all your cars, and/or probation violations.  To challenge vehicle forfeiture you must file papers within 30 days of your arrest.  If you do not do this, the vehicle is gone forever.
