More details to this question:
I just got a DUI in Colorado. I have been here a year for work but have only been fulltime since August 1st. I never bothered getting a Colorado driver’s license. I am still waiting for my blood BAC test results. I blew a .11 in the drunk tank (confidential). My court date is 12-31-12. Thanks!!!

It does not matter what state your license is from for a DUI revocation. However, a couple of things must happen in order for you to lose your license. If you took a blood test, your driving privilege will probably be valid until the results come back. They will send a notice to either the last address you gave the police or the address on your license. The notice is to request a hearing to preserve your driving privilege. You will have 7 days from the date of the notice to request the hearing. If you do not request a hearing within 7 days of receiving the notice, you will lose your driving privilege automatically. If you request a hearing, your driving privilege will remain in effect until your hearing date or you hear otherwise from the DMV.

I don't know Colorado law. But in Texas you can fight the suspension. Which I suspect you can do in Colorado as well.
