  • Criminal charges that have been dismissed
  • Criminal charges resulting in not guilty verdicts

DWI Frequently Asked Questions

  • What Are the Drunk Driving Laws in Texas?

    In Texas, laws for drunken driving are based upon your BAC (blood alcohol concentration), that is above the legal limit, while operating a vehicle. The enforced legal limits are below:

    • Under the age of 21, a BAC of .02 or more
    • Drivers of all ages, a BAC of .08 or more
    • Any commercial vehicle drivers, a BAC of .04 or more

    Anytime you exceed this limit, you run the risk of getting convicted for a DWI.

  • If This Is My First DWI, Will I Receive Jail Time?
    If this is your first alcohol related offense, then you will most likely avoid any jail time. However, this depends on the details of your case.
  • Will I Lose My License if I am Charged with a DWI?

    A DWI offense in Texas can lead to a suspension of your license for a period of 90 days up to 2 years. The length of suspension is determined based on a few different factors.

    • The driver’s age 
    • Blood alcohol level
    • Circumstances of the offense
    • Prior convictions.
  • What Are the Penalties for DWI in Texas?

    In Texas, the state has a wide range of charges for a drunk driving charge.

    • Installation of an interlock ignition device
    • Mandatory drug and alcohol treatment
    • Seventy-two hours to 10 years in jail

    The severity of your charges can range based on if you have prior DWI convictions. If you do, that would likely lead to more serious charges.
