It could be that they are never going to be filed... or it just could be they're waiting for the lab results to confirm a positive test for under the influence before filing.
You should call the D.A.'S office and ask if your case was rejected or is waiting for further investigation, such as , the result of a blood or urine analyisis. Whatever, you find out, you should contact an attorney in or near your area and go over all the facts. The attorney should be able to tall you the best course of action. I wish you the best.
