I have recently got a DWI in Collin county in Texas last week. I have hired criminal lawyer. My questions are:
1- Can I travel to India before my hearing date in court and come back before hearing. I am on H1 and valid visa is stamped. I don't need re-stamping. My lawyer says yes i can travel but as he is not immigration lawyer i want to double check whether I will be stopped duing my return.
2- If they punish you with jail term say even 5 days and also probabtion, is there a way you can plea / appeal for jail term and go to some other court or they arrest you from court itself.
I would appreciate if someone can answer both my questions.
