Roberts County is a dry county for most alcohol sales, which affects the local context for DWI enforcement.

License Suspension for Roberts County DWI

Any DWI arrest in Roberts County triggers the state's Administrative License Revocation process through the Texas DPS Driver License Division. The officer takes the physical license at the time of arrest and provides a 40-day temporary permit. The driver has 15 days to request an ALR hearing. Missing that deadline means automatic suspension.

Failing a breath or blood test at 0.08 or above brings a 90-day suspension on a first offense. Refusing the test means 180 days. These periods double if there was a prior ALR suspension within 10 years. All of this runs separately from the criminal case in court. The full framework is in Transportation Code Chapter 524. A $125 reinstatement fee to DPS is required at the end of the suspension.

Driving records can be ordered from dps.texas.gov. Costs range from $4 to $22 depending on the record type needed.
