After you have been arrested for a DWI, your first hearing in your DWI case is will be an arraignment. After the judge reads you the charge, the judge will ask whether you plead guilty or innocent. Unless you're represented by an attorney you shoould plead not guilty.
The judge will decide, after listening to the facts of the case, whether to reduce your bail amount or release you on your "own recognizance" without requiring additional bail.
If you aren't already represented by an attorney, the judge will determine whether you are eligible for a public defender. If you have an attorney, or are appointed a public defender, the prosecutor assigned to your DWI case should give your attorney copies of any police reports and other documents the prosecutor is intending to rely upon in presenting the case against you (such as blood alcohol test results). The judge will set a date for pre-trial motions and trials. For further information, contact your Burnet DWI County Attorney or your Local DUI Attorney Videos.
