Texas DWI/DUI Charge Classifications
- Standard DWI – Class B Misdemeanor
Minimum sentence of 72 hours in jail. - Open Container Offense – Elevated Class B Misdemeanor
Results in a minimum six-day jail sentence. - High BAC (0.15% or More) – Class A Misdemeanor
Leads to more severe fines and longer jail time.
Legal Alcohol Limits and Impairment
Texas law defines intoxication at a BAC of 0.08%, but impairment can still be determined below that level. We assess the testing procedures and circumstances of your arrest to identify any weaknesses in the prosecution’s case.
Common Defenses for DWI/DUI Arrests in Central East Austin
Being charged is not the same as being convicted. We examine a variety of defense strategies, including:
- Challenging the Validity of the Traffic Stop
Was the officer’s reason for stopping you legally justified? - Analyzing Chemical Test Results
We inspect the maintenance logs and operator records for breathalyzer or blood tests. - Assessing Field Sobriety Test Reliability
External conditions or health issues could have influenced your performance. - Highlighting Relevant Medical Conditions
Conditions like diabetes or acid reflux can create false positives or mimic signs of impairment. - Exploring Diversion or Alternative Sentencing
We determine if first-time offender programs or deferred adjudication options are available.
The Legal Difference Between DUI and DWI in Texas
- DUI: Usually applies to drivers under 21 with any trace of alcohol.
- DWI: Involves impairment in drivers of any age from alcohol, drugs, or both.
Proper classification affects both the legal strategy and potential penalties.
Factors That Can Increase DWI/DUI Penalties
- Child passenger under the age of 15
- Accidents involving injury or death
