DWI (Driving While Intoxicated)

DWI DEFENSE ATTORNEYS IN CORSICANA

Aggressive Defending Against DWI Charges in Texas

Texas regularly ranks among the top states in the nation in terms of the number of car accidents and deaths caused by drunk driving. In 2019, for instance, not a single day passed without at least one fatal crash occurring in Texas, and 812 fatalities that year involved DWI drivers. It’s a distinction that no one is proud of. As a result, police officers are aggressive in stopping suspected drunk drivers, and Texas courts hand down some of the most serious consequences for those who are convicted of driving while impaired (DWI).

Thus, if you are arrested for DWI, also referred to as driving under the influence (DUI), you may face stiff fines, license suspension, jail time, additional license fees and possibly the installation of an ignition lock on your vehicle. More likely than not, your driver’s license will get suspended, which is handled as a separate matter from your criminal case. You must file for an administrative license revocation (ALR) hearing within 15 days of your arrest or you will lose your driving privileges immediately.

It is imperative to contact an experienced Corsicana DWI defense lawyer to help get your charges minimized or dropped altogether. Our DWI attorneys in Corsicana assist clients with both their criminal charges and ALR hearing. Contact us at (903) 417-0889 and arrange a consultation today!

What are the Penalties for a DWI in Texas?

The penalties for a DWI conviction depend largely on the circumstances of your arrest, including the blood alcohol content (BAC) level, and whether you have previous DWI convictions. It is illegal to drive with a BAC of .08 or higher in Texas, therefore a driver may suffer the following consequences if convicted of DWI:

First-Time DWI Offense in Corsicana

  • A fine of up to $2,000
  • Three to 180 days in jail
  • Loss of driver’s license for up to one year

Consequences of a Second DWI Offense

  • A fine of up to $4,000
  • One month to a year in jail
  • Loss of driver license for up to two years
  • Mandatory ignition interlock installation

Third DWI Offense: Facing Felony Charges

  • A $10,000 fine
  • Two to 10 years in prison
