Driving around a college town can be difficult no matter what. Busses are always too big for the lanes, freshman have no idea where they’re going and students are constantly walking wherever they please. Staying alert is the best way to be a safe driver, but sometimes, no matter how good of a driver you are, other drivers can be spontaneous and out of control.

It’s never a good idea to miss a court date, even for a simple traffic violation. But the punishments and consequences associated with skipping out on court might be even worse in a DUI case. While many excuses exist for missing a DUI court date-oversleeping, a sick child, or even having moved outside of the state-it can sometimes take the right legal action to avoid being punished for this lapse in attendance. If you miss your DUI court date, be sure to note the following:

Steps can be taken to help get your life back on track. It is best to educate yourself on what a DWI charge is, what the consequences are, and what you should do afterwards.

In some cases, it is possible to have a DWI charge reduced, which means getting to avoid the harsh consequences of a Texas DWI conviction.
