The County Courts at Law hear Class A and B misdemeanors, including first and second DWI. A felony DWI or other felony goes through the District Attorney and the 196th or 354th District Court. The license suspension hearing (ALR) is separate from the criminal case and is heard by the State Office of Administrative Hearings.
