Understanding DUI/DWI Charges in Texas
DWI/DUI offenses in Texas come with severe consequences, including fines, license suspension, and jail time. Our firm offers personalized defense strategies based on a deep understanding of Texas criminal law and the unique facts of your situation.
Common DWI Charges and Potential Outcomes
- Standard DWI (Class B Misdemeanor)
Includes a minimum of 72 hours in custody and financial penalties. - DWI with an Open Alcohol Container (Enhanced Class B)
Triggers a mandatory six-day jail term. - High BAC DWI (Class A Misdemeanor)
Applies when your blood alcohol content is 0.15% or more—punishable by greater fines and extended jail time.
Texas BAC Limits and Arrest Triggers
Texas law presumes intoxication with a BAC of 0.08% or above. However, you can still be charged if your behavior suggests impairment—even with a lower BAC. Our attorneys analyze how the tests were conducted and challenge results that may be inaccurate.
Possible Legal Defenses to DUI/DWI Allegations
- Lack of Probable Cause
If the traffic stop wasn’t legally justified, your case may be dismissed. - Inaccurate BAC Testing
We investigate whether breath or blood tests were properly calibrated and administered. - Unreliable Field Sobriety Testing
Weather, nerves, or physical conditions may impact performance. - Medical Conditions Mimicking Intoxication
Issues such as diabetes or acid reflux could explain your symptoms. - First-Time Offender Programs
In some cases, alternative programs may help you avoid a conviction.
DWI vs. DUI: What’s the Legal Distinction?
- DUI applies primarily to minors under 21 with any alcohol in their system.
- DWI applies to all drivers impaired by alcohol, illegal substances, or even prescribed medications.
Each charge carries unique legal implications and requires a tailored defense.
Factors That May Increase the Severity of Charges
- Repeat offenses
- Accidents involving injury or death
- Child passengers in the vehicle
- Presence of an open alcohol container
We work to minimize or challenge these aggravating circumstances.
