Hello and welcome back to the Brian Fagan YouTube channel. I'm Trey Taylor and today we're going to discuss a situation that can catch people off guard out of state DUI charges and how they can affect you here in Texas. If you've been charged with a DUI while visiting another state, you might think that once you leave, the problem stays behind, but that's not the case. Texas takes out of state DUI charges seriously, and they can have significant legal consequences. In this video, we'll explore what you need to know if you've been charged with a DUI in another state and how it can impact. The driver's license, insurance, and even your criminal record here in Texas. Let's start with the legal concept known as the Interstate Drivers License Compact. Texas is part of this agreement, along with most other states. This compact allows Texas to share information about traffic violations, including DUI charges. What this means for you is that if you're convicted of a DUI in another state, Texas will most likely be informed and you could face consequences here even though the offense occurred elsewhere. For example, if you were visiting Colorado and got a DUI charge once you returned to Texas. The Texas Department of Public Safety could take action based on that. Out of state DUI conviction for drivers license could be suspended and you may be required to complete additional steps, like attending a Texas Alcohol Education Program before you can reinstate your license. In addition to license suspension, out of state DUI's can also impact your car insurance. Just like with any traffic violation, a DUI conviction can cause your insurance rates to skyrocket. Some insurance companies may even refuse to renew your policy altogether, making it difficult and expensive to find your coverage. Here's a real life scenario to show how. This works. Imagine a man named Kevin, a Texas resident, who travels to Florida for a friend's bachelor party. Kevin enjoys the night, but after having a few drinks, he decides to drive back to his hotel. He gets pulled over for speeding and is arrested for DUI in Florida. Kevin assumes that once he leaves Florida, the problem stays there. However, when he returns to Texas, he receives a notice from the Texas DPS that his license is being suspended due to the Florida DUI conviction. Kevin is now facing multiple issues. First, his Texas drivers license is suspended. Again, he must go through Texas administrative process to try and reinstate his driving privileges, which includes paying fees and possibly attending alcohol education courses. Finally, Kevin's insurance company decides to increase his premiums due to the DUI charge, and Kevin's entire situation is far more complicated than he ever expected. The good news is that in many cases, you can defend against an out of state DUI charge just as you would if the charge had happened here in Texas. It's crucial to consult with an experienced criminal defense attorney who understands both Texas law and how it interacts with the laws of the state. Where your DUI occurred, your attorney can help you navigate the legal complexities, contest the charges if possible, and work to minimize the long term impact on your life. Dealing with an out of state DUI can be a confusing and overwhelming process, but you don't have to face it alone. By working with a skilled criminal defense attorney, you can navigate both states legal systems and protect your rights. Ignoring the charges are hoping they'll disappear won't help. In fact, it could make things worse and lead to more severe penalties in Texas. Remember, the consequences of an out of state DUI can extend far beyond the state where the arrest occurred. It can affect. Driving privileges, insurance, and even future employment opportunities. That's why it's critical to take immediate action and seek legal counsel.

The Surprising Loopholes in DUI Charges In BC Something that I hear as a DUI lawyer is that there are loopholes that I use to get my clients off their DUI charges. The people who make these claims are people who think that legitimate defences and police breaches of charter rights are in fact, merely legal loopholes that allow guilty people to go free. So I wanted to answer the question in this blog post about whether there are really loopholes that can allow people to be found not guilty of impaired driving charges, and if there are, why those loopholes actually exist. https://lnkd.in/gFZgzm_T

Here is one of our frequently asked questions regarding DUI (driving under the influence) charges: 💭 "Do I have to blow into a roadside screening device or breathalyzer if the police ask me to?" In short, yes. It is important to note that refusing to blow into a roadside screening device is considered a criminal offense and carries the same severe penalties as impaired driving or "over 80" offences. The consequences of such actions can have a significant impact on one's legal standing and overall well-being. At LZZ, our priority is you. We thoroughly and intuitively learn your case to navigate through these challenging circumstances effectively. ⚖️ Learn more about legal services for DUI: https://buff.ly/3UMbsPM
