For commercial drivers, a DWI arrest can have consequences far beyond the criminal justice system. A conviction—or even certain administrative penalties—may affect your Commercial Driver’s License (CDL), your employment, and your ability to continue working in your profession.

If your livelihood depends on driving, the outcome of your case matters.

Attorney Jordan G. Fries represents commercial drivers throughout South Texas facing DWI charges and understands the unique legal and professional concerns these cases present.

Higher Standards for Commercial Drivers

Commercial driver’s license holders are subject to stricter legal standards than other motorists.

Federal regulations and Texas law impose additional requirements on CDL holders, including lower blood alcohol concentration thresholds while operating commercial vehicles and potential license disqualification following certain offenses.

Even when a DWI occurs in a personal vehicle, it may affect your commercial driving privileges.

More Than a Criminal Case

A Commercial Driver DWI often involves multiple issues occurring simultaneously:

  • Criminal prosecution
  • Driver’s license consequences
  • CDL disqualification
  • Employer reporting obligations
  • Insurance implications
  • Professional licensing concerns

 

Understanding how these issues interact is critical to protecting both your legalrights and your career.

Building a Defense

Commercial Driver DWI cases require careful evaluation of:

  • Traffic stop legality
  • Commercial vehicle regulations
  • Chemical testing
  • Field sobriety testing
  • Driver qualification records
  • License issues
  • Administrative hearings

 

Jordan works closely with clients to understand both the legal and practical implications of each case while developing a strategy designed to protect their future.
