Spring straddles the Harris–Montgomery county line. Two blocks can decide whether your case is prosecuted in downtown Houston or in Conroe — and those two systems do not treat the same charge the same way.
Interstate 45 through Spring is one of the busiest DWI enforcement stretches in the state, and the Hardy Toll Road and FM 1960 add steady traffic-stop volume on top of it. A large share of Spring cases begin as an ordinary stop that escalated into a search, a field sobriety test, or an arrest.
Because the county line runs through the area, the same conduct can produce very different outcomes. Harris County has broader diversion options for some first offenses; Montgomery County is generally tougher. Identifying which county has your case, immediately, shapes every decision that follows.

Both. The county line runs through the Spring area, so your arrest location determines which county prosecutes. Harris County cases go to the Criminal Justice Center in downtown Houston; Montgomery County cases go to Conroe.
Significantly. The two DA offices charge, negotiate, and resolve cases differently, and diversion program availability is not the same. I practice in both, so I can tell you realistically what to expect in yours.
The ALR deadline. You generally have 15 days from arrest to request a hearing or face an automatic license suspension. That clock runs regardless of what happens with the criminal case.
Yes — throughout the Spring and Klein area, in both counties, including Champions, Gleannloch Farms, and the Rayford Road corridor.
