Time-Sensitive

In Texas, the clock starts the moment things go wrong.

days to save your license. After a DWI arrest you have just 15 days to request an ALR hearing — miss it and the suspension is automatic. Frank can file the request for you today.

Evidence fades fast. Skid marks wash away, security footage is overwritten, witnesses forget. The sooner Frank investigates your injury claim, the stronger it stays.

What you say next matters. After an arrest, a single sentence can shape the whole case. Talk to Frank before you talk to anyone else.
