Penalties for DWI in Texas

In the state of Texas, you are most likely to be charged with DWI (driving while intoxicated) than with DUI (driving under the influence). Whether you are charged with DWI or DUI mainly depends on your age, as well as your blood alcohol concentration at the time of arrest. Drivers who are 21 years of age or older and who register a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08% or more are often charged with DWI. Drivers who are under 21 years of age can be charged with DUI for any detectable amount of alcohol in their system. Whether you have been charged with DUI or DWI, our McAllen DWI defense attorney can help you.

Individuals charged with DWI in Texas can face the following penalties:

  • Fines, including court fees
  • License suspension or revocation
  • Jail time
  • Community service
  • Rehabilitative program

Commercial Driver DWI Defense

Commercial drivers in Texas are prohibited from driving a commercial vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.04% or more. Commercial drivers face harsh penalties, such as disqualification of their CDL for a minimum of one year. If the driver was operating a vehicle placarded for hazardous materials, the disqualification can last three years. Due to these harsh penalties, it is highly recommended that you contact our McAllen DWI attorney if you have been charged with a commercial DWI.
