Release Conditions in Oregon DUI Cases: What to Expect

If you are arrested for and charged with an Oregon DUI,  the court may require that you agree to release conditions to remain out of custody pending the outcome of your case.

Oregon DUI Release Conditions

The general conditions of release agreements in Oregon are set out in ORS 135.250. Other examples of release conditions in Oregon DUI cases may include, but not be limited to:

• Return to court to appear at all scheduled court appearances.
• Have no contact with the named victim in the case (if any).
• Do not leave the state of Oregon without written approval from the court.
• Notify the court of any change of address.
• Do not drive unless properly licensed and insured.
• No consumption of alcohol.
• Do not enter into bars, taverns, or any place where alcohol is the chief item of sale.
• No use of marijuana or other controlled substances.

Modification of DUI Release Conditions

If you or someone you care about is facing a criminal charge in Oregon, contact a DUI defense attorney. It is often possible to reduce or even eliminate the need for unreasonable pre-trial release conditions. Even if release conditions are initially imposed, they can often be modified by filing a motion with the court and arguing for a reduction in the severity of the release conditions.
