What Happens After a DUI Arrest?

DUI arrests lead to administrative and criminal proceedings in Tulare. These trials occur independently from each other and both have the potential to inflict harsh penalties. One potential consequence of the administrative, or DMV, hearing is license suspension. However, you could face this punishment even without the hearing if you fail to call and request your DMV appointment within the required period of 10 days after your arrest.
