When do I start counting from for the 5 years to be up

If you are referring to the 5-year license revocation period, it will last for 5 years from the date of release from incarceration. You will need to provide DHSMV with the release date on a DHSMV form signed by the jail.
I’m trying to figure out what’s required for me to get my permit and license. I am 26 and never had permit before but still got charged with dui twice. Once in 2014 and the other in 2016. What do I do to take care of this?

You should take care of your DUI cases by hiring a lawyer or by taking care of them yourself by redocketing (less advisable).
3rd time DUI offender plowed into our front yard, our fence, and our car at a high rate of speed. His car finally stopped only about 10 feet from the room in which we were at that morning. Our car was deemed a total loss as this was the only thing that stopped the driver from plowing right into our... Read more »

It is best to consult with a civil attorney who handles this type of claim.
I'm trying to figure out when do points "fall off the record", when does the time start counting, from the time a person is convicted or from the time the citation was issued? All I know that in CA it's 3 years and 3 months, but when does the time start counting exactly, so they... Read more »

The points accrue (go on your record) when the conviction occurs, meaning that, until you are convicted the points aren't on your driving record, the three years starts running at the point you are convicted.
once I received a citation?
I'm sorry, I believe my question has been wrongly structured,

If you have paid your fine, completed 3 yr or 5 year Informal Probation, completed alcohol classes, and completed Victim Impact Class (Mothers Against Drunk Drivers), you need to hire an Criminal/DUI Defense Attorney to file Motion to Expunge the DUI Conviction.

Dismissed, no. But the officer’s omission might result in fertile cross-examination. Retain an attorney.

No, the DUI ticket cannot be dismissed for that purpose alone. On the other hand, a gifted lawyer can explore this discrepancy in the ticket to attack the officer's credibility at trial. Additionally, a lawyer may be able to review the ticket and report to see if there are more discrepancies... Read more »

If it is a true 3rd DWI, then your chances would normally be pretty good to get probation across Texas. This is assuming there were no extenuating circumstances like evading, threatening the officer, involvement in a crash, etc.
The prior evading adds many variables. If you went to prison... Read more »

It depends on what county you are in. There is always a chance you can get probation. Retain a lawyer to assist . If you have a drinking problem start going to AA.
I'm being told that I have to start my 2 year iid sentence over with 5 months left because I had heart surgery on 1/6/23 and can't continue at the present moment? Is this legal? My heart condition is out of my control and I was doing everything that was asked of me with no violations.... Read more »

You owe the State 2 consecutive years with an IID. How does your heart surgery recovery prevent you from having the IID installed on your car?

Any arrest could impact your immigration I would not ride in the car with him under this set of facts,
Admin suspension effective March 20 2020. Date of court conviction 6/20/2022. Been carrying an SR22 since March of 2020 so the removal date would be Mar/April 2023 if it began at the DMV admin suspension. (All DMV fines and reinstatement fees have been paid)

It is 3 years from the date you reinstated your driving privilege. You can always call the DMV Mandatory Actions Unit to confirm the exact date that happened.

I think you may have already asked this question. The general answer is probably. They do not typically have law enforcement to arrest you at the driver license office.
answered on Jan 16, 2023
There's almost always an opportunity to avoid jail, especially with your last DWI being 20 years ago. That said, you'll need a DWI lawyer to give yourself the best chance. It's impossible to give a complete answer without knowing all the facts of the case and your past, but... Read more »

If you were arrested for DUI it is imperative that you hire a DUI lawyer. Officers routinely write "strong odor of alcohol, slurred speech, unsteady on feet, red watery and bloodshot eyes" in nearly every arrest warrant for DUI. The only recourse is to question him on the witness stand in... Read more »
