Experience in California

I was arrested for a DUI in Orange County when I was on vacation. I live in Texas? Do I have to come back for the court dates if I hire a DUI defense lawyer?

Probably not. In most cases you can retain an experienced DUI defense law firm and they can appear on your behalf without you having to be present. This is pursuant to Penal Code Section 977. However, if you do not appear and if you do not retain a lawyer to appear for you then the court will issue a warrant for your arrest.
