Driving While Intoxicated is a very serious charge. DWI cases come with urgent deadlines that have real life consequences. It is important to fight the driver license suspension, assert your constitutional rights, and do everything possible to avoid a final conviction.
DWI is defined as operation of a motor vehicle in a public place while intoxicated. You are deemed intoxicated if you do not have normal use of your mental and/or physical facilities because of alcohol and/or drugs in your body and/or if you have a blood alcohol concentration of at least 0.08 in Texas.
The definition of intoxication is typically the most contested issue in a DWI trial. Our trial lawyers know how to cross-examine the state’s witnesses and scrutinize the evidence on this technical issue.
First-time DWI offenders face up to 365 days in jail, a $6,000.00 fine, court costs, a driver license suspension, and a permanent criminal conviction.
A first-time DWI charge in Texas is a Class B Misdemeanor, unless enhanced by aggravating factors. DWI first-time offenders face jail time, a permanent criminal conviction, thousands of dollars in fines, and a driver license suspension. Here is the full breakdown:
A second DWI offense (DWI-Repeat Offender) is a Class A Misdemeanor. The maximum fine is $6,000.00, and the maximum jail sentence is 12 months. A conviction for this offense is permanent, requires a 3-day jail sentence (even if probation is granted), and results in a driver license suspension. Learn more.
After two DWI convictions, a third DWI offense (habitual DWI) is a Third Degree Felony. The maximum fine is $10,000.00, and the maximum prison sentence is 10 years in a Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) penitentiary. A conviction for this offense is permanent, requires a 10-day jail sentence, even if probation is granted, and results in a driver license suspension, as well as other serious, collateral consequences associated with being a convicted felon.
The maximum period of probation for a misdemeanor DWI is 24 months. The maximum period for a felony DWI is 10 years.
DUI and DWI are often used interchangeably in Texas, but they are actually very different. In Texas, a person of any age can be convicted of DWI, while DUI is only applicable to minor drivers under the age of 21.
With a local attorney, you have someone familiar with Harris County judges, court clerks, prosecutors, and more. You also have someone with a great deal of experience in local criminal procedures.
This knowledge and these personal relationships offer you an intangible yet real advantage in your case.
