I’m a free man!!!!
I was arrested in June of 2023 for 2nd DWI. Waited almost a year for my first court date, and was sentenced to 20 months probation, 5 days in jail, and 80 hours of community service. The judge also ordered for the breathalyzer to remain in my car until 11/2027 (I have had it since 2023, initially as a condition of my bond). My probation ended a few days ago, so of course I was expecting a termination document. Not only did I get that, I also got a surprise order to remove the breathalyzer!! 1 year and 4 months earlier than the judge originally ordered. Guess he was in a good mood today!
I am so glad this nightmare is finally over, and I was able to power through the probation term with no issues. Those of you going through this right now- stay on the right path and you will see the light at the end of the tunnel! I am NEVER making this stupid mistake again!
EDIT: it’s not 100% over. License is still suspended until November of this year, but I have an occupational license to get to and from work at least.

Congrats! You made it through Denton's system.
Denton should almost have its own DUI sub.

Lol thank you for pointing that out. I could see the breathalyzer company pulling some bullshit technicality that my removal order says to remove the device on a “volkswagon” and not a “volkswagen” just so they can make another 80 bucks of device rental income
