The two clocks: court and DPS
Your Mississippi DUI arrest opened a criminal case and a separate license case with the DPS. If that date passes, your license can be suspended before you ever see a judge.
Only the commercial-vehicle BAC rule was verified; the ordinary-driver BAC threshold remains a gap. The license detail concerns a regular Class R license. (DPS rule)
A first offense in Mississippi
For a commercial vehicle, the DUI disqualification rule includes an alcohol concentration of 0.04 percent or more (Mississippi law).
| What | The rule |
|---|---|
| License (court) | A first DUI conviction suspends a Class R license for 120 days unless the court orders an interlock-restricted license |
| Agency steps | Court documents must reach Driver Records directly from the court, not from the driver |
The judge picks a number inside each range. So ask where cases like yours land in Mississippi (Mississippi penalty rules).
Second and later offenses
A prior raises the penalty in every state, and Mississippi is no exception. Tell the lawyer about any earlier case on the first call. Second offense DUI rules lists the states with published ranges.
Add-on fines and the newest change
Interlock orders and add-on fines in Mississippi depend on the charge and the BAC. Ask the lawyer which ones apply to yours.
