DWI/Driving While Intoxicated:
A DWI occurs when someone is operating, or is in actual physical control, of a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or other controlled substance to the extent that their mental faculties are impaired and/or their blood alcohol content (BAC) is above the legal limit. Even for a first offense, penalties can include license suspension, substantial fines, community service, mandatory attendance at a state or DMV approved alcohol program, mandatory overnight incarceration and the required installation (at the offender's expense) of a car ignition locking device. In addition, a DWI conviction stays on a DMV record for several years, it typically results in higher insurance premiums, and an offender may become ineligible for credit.Ê Plus, a DWI could also jeopardize your employment opportunities.
However, if someone was injured as a result of the drunken driving accident, it is possible the defendant will be charged with a felony (and if the victim dies, the driver may be charged with vehicular manslaughter). Further, a DWI conviction will likely be raised to a felony if it is the driver's fourth DWI offense or the driver has had a prior felony DWI offense within 10 years of the new charge.

probation for DWI, often the first thing to happen is a test of your
life circumstances so the probation officer can determine how many
programs you must attend.

DUI / DWI - Driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI) or driving
while intoxicated (DWI) is an increasingly common social problem in
today's world. Throughout Texas and in all other jurisdictions
across the United States, it is considered a serious offense and
can lead to severe criminal penalties, including heavy fines, loss
of driving privileges, and incarceration. The authorities in many
states are currently cracking down on DUI offenses by reducing the
blood alcohol content level at which a person can legally operate a
motor vehicle. However, knowledgeable legal counsel can help you
avoid hefty fines, license suspensions, or large insurance
increases.
