Despite yourfinancial situation, you absolutelydo need an attorney to represent you in this case.

If the Court case you are referring to is the criminal case in which you are charged with DWI, then you must do everything you can do to avoid a conviction. Not only would you face jail time and/or a substantial fine, but the conviction would result in the Department of Revenue giving you 12 points on your driving record which would result in a one year revocation of your driver's license. In addition, a conviction will have catrostrophic consequences if you ever pick up another such charge. The requirements that you refer to in your question do not all relate to a criminal DWI charge, and it appears that you may be confused as to the different requirements of the Department of Revenue. I would advise you to do whatever you can to hire an attorney.
