DWI is a criminal offense. This means that if you are convicted, you will have this DWI conviction as a part of your permanent criminal record. This criminal record is public information and you will be burdened with a public criminal record for the rest of your life unless you take specific action to challenge it.
When you apply for a job, your DWI conviction will be found during your pre-employment background check. Many employers conduct background checks as a condition of employment and could disqualify you once they discover your previous DWI arrest and/or conviction. This is a very important consequence of having a DWI conviction on your record. If you receive a felony DWI conviction, not only will you have a conviction on your record but you will be prohibited from purchasing a firearm and will carry other stigmatizing results, including limits placed on the right to travel to certain countries.
