It is very difficult to win aDPS license administrative hearing because it is a civil administrativeproceeding and not a court hearing.Hearsay is admissible and the hearing judge is a DPS official and not adistrict court judge. It would be similar tohaving the Chief Law Enforcement Officer or chief of police listen to theevidence to decide if correct procedures were followed and if you should loseyour license. An administrative hearingis not held in a court room and court rules do not apply. It is governed by administrative hearingrules, not court rules.
