Some cities cross county lines; use the county and court on your citation, bond papers or court notice. Parker County splits prosecution: the Parker County Attorney prosecutes misdemeanors and the District Attorney prosecutes felonies.
What happens after an arrest in Weatherford?
After an arrest, a magistrate explains the rights and addresses bail and conditions if allowed by law. Release is not automatic. The County Attorney and District Attorney split matters. A misdemeanor DWI is handled by the County Attorney's office at 101 N. Main St. A felony DWI or other felony is handled by the District Attorney's office at 117 Fort Worth Hwy, Weatherford 76086.
For a DWI, check the suspension notice immediately. The ALR hearing deadline is generally 15 days after service, or 20 days after DPS mails a notice following blood-test results. DPS explains these notice deadlines. Read the Parker County DWI page for local DWI details.
