Searches for a San Marcos DWI lawyer or San Marcos DWI attorney, and for a Hays County DWI lawyer or Hays County DWI attorney, all point at the same courthouse. The file will be in this county. Stops on I-35, on Hunter, on Aquarena Springs, and around campus all get booked into the same system. People search “San Marcos DUI lawyer” for the same charge. In Texas the statute is DWI. This office handles that charge in San Marcos, including Texas State DWI lawyer and Texas State DWI attorney work for students who need the criminal docket explained without a mill script.
What happens after a DWI in San Marcos
After a DWI arrest in San Marcos you are usually magistrated, given a bond, and told to appear. A separate clock can run on the driver’s license through ALR. The criminal case and the license case are not the same piece of paper. Bring the citation, the bond sheet, and whatever the officer handed you. The first meeting is about those documents, the next setting, and what is still unknown.
Appearances are at the Hays County Government Center, 712 S. Stagecoach Trail, San Marcos, Texas 78666. That is the San Marcos courthouse campus, not a satellite office in another town. John Green’s office is a few minutes away at 100 N. Edward Gary St., Suite A-2, San Marcos, TX 78666.
Hays County first offense DWI
A Hays County first offense DWI is still a Class B misdemeanor in ordinary cases, with license consequences that outlast the night of the stop. “First offense” describes the charging history. It does not mean the state treats the file as a warning. The stop, the field tests, the breath or blood, and the report all get read. You will hear a realistic assessment of that paper before anyone talks about what a later setting might look like.
This page does not publish a flat fee. The work depends on the file. Call the office and we look at what you have.
Texas State DWI lawyer — same page, same office
A Texas State DWI attorney search should not send you to a second town. The campus is next door. A student DWI in San Marcos is still a Hays County prosecution. It can also trigger student conduct. This office will talk about both. It will not treat a Bobcat file as a discounted version of the same charge.
Parents often call first. That is fine. The student still has to understand the docket. We explain the charge, the courthouse, and what the next date is for.
Kyle and Buda
A stop in Kyle or Buda is still a Hays County DWI. Those files are not a reason to open another office. They land at the San Marcos courthouse. Read the Kyle and Buda DWI page if that is where the stop happened.
