Remain silent — You have the constitutional right to remain silent. Do not discuss your case with police, friends, or on social media. Anything you say can be used against you.
Do not consent to searches — Politely decline any request to search your vehicle, home, or belongings without a warrant. Do not physically resist, but state clearly that you do not consent.
Contact a criminal defense attorney immediately — Early legal intervention can influence charging decisions, protect evidence, and in some cases prevent charges from being filed at all.
Document everything — Write down what happened while it's fresh: the time, location, what officers said and did, and any witnesses present.
Do not miss court dates or deadlines — Missing a hearing can result in a warrant and additional charges. Texas also imposes strict deadlines, such as the 15-day window to request an ALR hearing to contest a driver's license suspension after a DWI arrest.
Avoid discussing the case publicly — For professionals and public figures especially, statements made to colleagues, media, or online can damage both your legal defense and your reputation.
