Legal Question in DUI Law in Texas

Texas or California?

Was detained 48 hours, never arraigned and let go in California for DUI alcohol/marijuana.

Also, there is the issue of being charged with bribing an executive officer to add to the package. This was at the time of the incident.

My question is, will I be dealing with Texas DMV or California DMV if i want to fight this case? Will Texas penalties or california penalties apply to me as far as my driving license is concerned?

I am a Texas resident.

I don't know, but if you spam your inquiry to this site 50 more times, maybe that will help.

You will be dealing with the Texas DMV with your license, but you will be dealing with California courts in relation to criminal charges.

California courts cannot take action against an out-of-state license, but Texas can take action against your license for out-of-state conduct.

Feel free to contact me if you need further assistance. Best of luck!
