If your license was suspended & you then got arrested for DWI, you now have 2 charges - DWI & driving on a suspended license.

You get DWI and a DWLS charges. You need to fight both. A DWI with a DWLS could get you deported if you are not a citizen.

The crime of driving with a suspended license is separate from the DWI and should be filed as an additional charge.
