The short answer is no. However, the speedy trial rule is very complex and my answer may not reflect your actual situation. In fact, you filed this under DUI law and usually the only thing that needs to be "filed" is the ticket itself, which is done in almost every case. In other words, you need to talk to an attorney and give more details in order to get a proper answer.
