If you have been arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated (DWI) in the state of Texas, you know how serious it can be. Penalties can be severe and reputations suffer. If you have any prior DWI convictions, or had a passenger under the age of 15 at the time you were arrested, the penalties are substantially increased. You may lose your job and your family. Child custody and visitation may be jeopardized if you are divorced or in the process of getting a divorce.

Just a few of the penalties you may face if convicted include:

  • Spending time in jail.
  • Imposition of hefty fines.
  • Ordered to go to alcohol counseling.
  • Suspension of your driver’s license if convicted.
  • Suspension of your driver’s license if you refused to take a BAC test.
  • Requirement for installation of an Ignition Interlock Device on your car if you have prior DWI convictions.
  • Auto insurance rates will increase.
