Criminal & Administrative Penalties

Texas law defines DWI as operating a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .08% or higher or while intoxicated by drugs or alcohol. The penalties for conviction depend on the situation, blood alcohol content (BAC), and whether there are any prior convictions. For example, if an accident or injury was caused or the defendant has several prior convictions, the charges and penalties will be more severe.

The criminal penalties for first-time DWI may include:

• 72 hours - 6 months in jail, 1 year for BAC of .15% or higher
• Fines of $2,000 - $4,000
• Probation
• Community service
• Mandatory participation in a DWI education program

In addition to criminal penalties, there are administrative penalties that affect your driver’s license. If you fail or refuse a chemical test, the arresting officer will confiscate your driver’s license and issue a Notice of Suspension. You have 15 days to request a hearing or your license will remain suspended for 90 days. When you request the hearing, you may continue to drive until a decision is made in the hearing. Our criminal defense lawyers can explain your options, including your eligibility for an occupational license.
