Cedar Park DWI Lawyer
Last updated on November 9, 2026
Cedar Park sits on the line between two counties, and that detail matters more than most people realize after a DWI arrest. Most of the city is in Williamson County, but a portion lies in Travis County. Where you were stopped decides which courthouse hears your case, which prosecutors handle it and which programs may be available to you.
Attorney Florencia Rueda is a member of both the Travis County and Williamson County bar associations and represents clients in both counties’ courts.
Common DWI stops around Cedar Park
DWI arrests in Cedar Park often follow stops on US-183, the 183A toll road, RM 1431 (Whitestone Boulevard) and Parmer Lane, or after events and nights out near the H-E-B Center, Lakeline and the Bell Boulevard area. Stops may be made by the Cedar Park Police Department, the Williamson or Travis County Sheriff’s Office or Texas DPS. The office also defends DWI cases in neighboring Leander.

The 15-day license deadline
Regardless of county, you have 15 days from receiving notice of suspension to request an Administrative License Revocation (ALR) hearing. Without it, your license may be suspended automatically, for 90 days if you failed a test or 180 days if you refused, for a first offense.
