Ok, so I live in CA and got the DUI. They took my DL, put me in the tank for 10 hours and gave me the pink temp paper license. Few days later, I setup my DMV hearing. I then went to go and get an ID card, cause not having any form of ID is just stupid right? So I paid the $21 for the ID and the following week, I got two envelopes from the DMV. Opened the first one, which of course was my new ID card. The next one was to my suprise, a new version of my old DL!!?? WTF??? I'm assuming that the DMV screwed up and gave me my old DL back. This in now way would give me the OK to drive, cuz if for any reason I got pulled over and they ran my DL#, I'm screwed, right? I have not done the criminal court date yet...I haven't even gotten a date for this!!! Oh shit, I have to figure that out myself right??? Anyways, I'm totally screwed and I HATE my life right now. Being 24 and getting a DUI is the shits...kinda like life is over in a way. Anyways, whats up with them sending back my DL?? Thanks

OK...so shit just keeps getting better. So I had my DMV Hearing on 8/17/06, last Thursday. I just got a thing in the mail stating that I missed my court date, which was on 8/17/06 and I now have a warrant out for my arrest. Did they really schedule both the DMV hearing and my court date on the same days, 30 miles apart without telling me anything about the court date, while my pink fake license was over on the 16th???? Is this fair? Does the system really work like this?? I think I'm in a whole lot of trouble.

OK, well I had my court hearing today. I actually was able to round up $1000 buck for a lawyer within 6 hours before court, this sucked...I now owe my best friend and my landlord $500/each, but nothing compares to what could have happened if I went with out a lawyer. So I got my DUI dropped down to a wrekless driving charge. No DUI classes, no driving suspension/restrictions, no insane amounts of fines and fees to pay. Wreckless driving charge and $700 fine. Damn I'm a lucky SOB.

hello

[guest from tx]

I have a DWI with deferred adjudication on record that I have never served probation nor serve alcoholic anonymous courses. The final pleading was unknown/unreported. I do not owe any money nor do I have a warrant for my arrest. In other words, everything is clear. Despite all of this mess I thought in the final pleading it suposse to say guilty or not guilty? Should I get an attorney? How long do I have to wait in order to expunge my record if it's possible. Do I need to wait 1,5, or 10 years? My life is taking a toll to look for a job here in Texas, I got arrested for this dumb charge but was never found guilty in the first place. This happened almost 8 years ago at the age of 19.
