      After Being Charged with DWI in Texas

      Much is at stake if you have already been arrested and charged with DWI. You need to act quickly to consult a DWI defense lawyer in your area. This is particularly crucial because you need a professional to protect your rights and look out for your future. Law enforcement, prosecutors, the judge, and the jury are not there to help you. The lawyer you choose to work with is extremely important because that’s the one person who will be on your side.

      There are a few specific actions to take after a DWI arrest or charges:
      • Exercise your right to remain silent. Do not discuss your case or charges with law enforcement.
      • Contact an attorney as soon as possible.
      • Do what you can to cooperate and be courteous to law enforcement, but politely decline to submit to questioning without your attorney present.
