Texas DWI Basics

Under Texas law, it is illegal to operate a motor vehicle while under the influence of any substance that impairs your ability to drive that vehicle safely. This includes not only alcohol but also illegal drugs, prescription medications, and over-the-counter drugs such as cough syrup or allergy medication. If you are pulled over and suspected of DWI, the officer may request a blood or breath test to determine your level of intoxication. Refusing to take a test can result in an automatic suspension of your driver's license.

The penalties for a DWI conviction can include thousands of dollars in fines, a lengthy license suspension, and mandatory jail time. Even with a first offense, Class B misdemeanor DWI conviction, Texas law requires a minimum jail sentence of 72 hours or minimum confinement of six days if you are convicted of a DWI with an open container in your possession. 

A DWI conviction can also affect the following: 

  • Your insurance rates 
  • Your financial stability 
  • Your employment status
  • Your enrollment in college or vocational programs 
  • Your eligibility for certain professional organizations 
  • Your ability to accept certain types of jobs that require either a clean driving or criminal record 
  • The outcome of other legal matters, such as custody cases or other criminal cases 

The Importance of Having Legal Representation 

Given the serious potential consequences of a DWI charge in Texas, it is critical to seek legal representation if you are facing these charges. An experienced DWI attorney can help you understand the charges against you, develop a defense strategy, and work towards a positive outcome in your case. 

An experienced DWI attorney can investigate your case thoroughly, including reviewing evidence, interviewing witnesses, and finding any potential flaws in the prosecution's case. They can also negotiate with prosecutors to try to reduce charges or penalties.

We are prepared to investigate all aspects of your case, including: 

  • Whether the law enforcement officer had reasonable suspicion to pull you over or probable cause to administer a blood alcohol test 
  • Whether the blood alcohol test was administered correctly
  • Whether field sobriety tests were administered and, if so, whether they were administered correctly 
  • Whether there is video camera footage of the stop and arrest that support the officer’s probable cause for an arrest 

If you are facing a DWI charge, the most important thing you can do is act quickly and find an attorney with experience representing clients in cases like yours. With my years of experience and knowledge of the law, I can help you navigate the complexities of the legal system and work towards the best outcome for your case.
