Serving Clients in Fort Worth, Allen, Denton, Austin & All of North Texas

DWI (driving while intoxicated) is covered under Texas Penal Code Title 10 Chapter 49. According to Texas DWI law, "intoxicated" means having a blood alcohol concentration of .08 or greater, or not having the normal use of your mental or physical faculties due to the introduction of any substance including alcohol or a drug or a combination of the two. You may face DWI charges following an arrest if the police officer has probable cause to believe that your physical and/or mental abilities were not normal due to the introduction of a substance, or if you failed a breath test or blood test by showing a result that was .08% or greater.

Texas DWI Penalties

The penalties for DWI may vary depending not only upon the jurisdiction and the specific offense itself, but also upon the driver's criminal record, whether a minor was in the vehicle, whether an accident occurred, and whether the driver's breath or blood alcohol concentration was over .15%. In these situations, the driver may face enhanced penalties.

What follows are some basic penalties which may be associated with a DWI conviction:

• Fines
• Court costs
• Driver's license suspension
• Surcharge fees
• Probation
• Probation fees
• Community service
• Alcohol/drug evaluation
• Alcohol/drug class
• Alcohol/drug counseling
• Ignition Interlock device

Additionally, you may face increased insurance rates and will have the social stigma associated with having a DWI conviction on your criminal record. This is something you will have to disclose in employment interviews and can negatively affect your chances of getting a job.
