What Are The Penalties Of A DWI Conviction In Texas?
A DWI conviction in Texas carries severe penalties. Some of the legal consequences of driving under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances may include fines, license suspension and potential jail time. The sentences increase in severity for every offense. For example:
- First-time DWI: Your first drunk driving charge can rack up fines up to $4,000 and up to a year in jail.
- Repeat offenders: With one or more prior charges, you face even stiffer penalties, including longer jail sentences and higher fines. Some offenses may result in prison time as well.
Beyond legal consequences, a DWI conviction can impact your social life, housing and employment opportunities. It can lead to increased insurance rates and a permanent criminal record. Having a DWI lawyer is crucial in navigating these challenges and mitigating the impact on your life.
The Experience To Defend You
Successful defense against DWI charges requires a thorough and strategic approach. An experienced DWI charge attorney will scrutinize every aspect of your case. They will challenge the administration and accuracy of field sobriety testing (FST) and blood alcohol concentration (BAC) tests. Attorney Donica will examine the legality of the traffic stop and the arrest procedures. She will look for any violations of your rights and procedural errors. The firm will gather evidence, interview witnesses and build a robust defense. We aim to reduce or dismiss charges and minimize the impact on your life.
