Austin DWI Lawyer (512) 469-6095
 There
are serious consequences that come along with a DWI (driving
while intoxicated) conviction in the state of Texas. Your
license may be suspended.
You will be required to pay expensive fines and court costs.
You will even spend time in jail.
DWI law is
very intricate. If you have recently been arrested for drunk
driving, you must immediately find an attorney who is
well-versed in Texas’s drinking and driving laws. A good
attorney may mean the difference between life-altering
penalties and the life you knew before your arrest.
A first-time DWI offense is a Class B Misdemeanor. The law
states that “a person commits an offense if the person is
intoxicated whole operating a motor vehicle in a public
place.” The prosecutor may make his or her case by
demonstrating that the driver did not have the normal use of
physical faculties, mental faculties, and had a BAC (blood
alcohol content) of .08 percent or higher.
It is important to note that even if you have a prescription,
if a substance makes you intoxicated, you may be found guilty
of DWI.
There are additional elements that may make your case more
difficult. If you have had a previous DWI conviction, you are
facing increased jail time, fines, and a longer driver’s
license suspension. You will also face more problems if you
assaulted someone or committed manslaughter with your vehicle
while intoxicated.
You will also face charges of “endangering a child” if you are
arrested for DWI with a minor in the car.
