You need to check if there is a warrant out for your arrest.

The statute of limitation on a misdemeanor DUI Refusal is 1 year. If they filed within that one year, but you never got a date or missed the date, then there is an issue of due process and speedy trial. You can go to the court clerk and check for outstanding warrants in the county you were arrested in.

If they never issued a warrant for you then the statute will run in October. If there is a warrant out for you, then the charges will still stick.

Since DMV controls the issuance of licenses, even after this long of a period of time, it will not issue until you have undergone a drug and alcohol evaluation. Remember, driving is not a right, it is a privilege
