Grounding Drives Up To Two Years For Refusal
AUSTIN AP Convicted drunken drivers could face a two year license grounding if they refuse to take a breath test after arrest. Texas Atty. Gen. Crawford Martin issued the option interpreting the 1969 implied consent law for Garyson County Atty. Clifford Powell of Sherman. Martin noted that DWI convictions carry a 12 month license suspension unless probated. The implied consent law allows DPS to suspend for a year a driver who refused a breath test when intoxicated. A defendant with a probated DWI sentence remains subject to a year suspension, and a convicted driver given a year suspension may face an additional 12 month suspension for refusal. Concluding, consecutive suspensions could keep a license off for two years.
