DWI Offenses in Plano

If you are convicted of a DWI in Texas, you face some of the stiffest penalties for the charge in the country. Even if it is your first charge, you can face penalties of up to 180 days in jail, $2000 in fines, probation, obligatory attendance in a MADD Victim Impact Panel and up to a year suspension of your license. For a first time offender, chances are that you will be tried as a Class B misdemeanor.

If charged with multiple DWI, the penalties continue to increase in severity. For a second DWI, you can face up to a year in jail, $4000 in fines, a two year license suspension, community service and probation. This would be charged as a Class A misdemeanor. For a third DWI, you are at risk of being charged as a 3rd degree felony, could be placed in prison for up to ten years, and face up to $10,000 in fines, community service, probation and a two year license suspension.

Felony DWI offenses are extremely serious and should be treated with the utmost concern and gravity. Whether facing it for a third time offense, for driving drunk with a child passenger, or if involved in a fatal accident, a felony is tried with much stricter penalties in mind. Any steps that can be taken to avoid conviction should and need to be taken. Securing the help of an experienced criminal defense lawyer is one of these steps that is of the utmost importance.
