What are the Penalties for a Multiple DWI in Texas?

Texas takes a harsh stance on DWI offenses, and the penalties for multiple DWI convictions can be particularly severe. If you are convicted of a second or subsequent DWI in Texas, you could be facing:

• Harsh Fines: The fines for multiple DWI convictions can add up quickly, potentially costing you thousands of dollars.
• Driver's License Suspension: Your driver's license may be suspended for an extended period, making it challenging to carry on with your daily life.
• Ignition Interlock Device: You may be required to install an ignition interlock device in your vehicle, adding inconvenience and costs.
• Probation: Multiple DWI convictions may lead to probation, including mandatory alcohol education and treatment programs.
• Jail Time: For third or subsequent DWI offenses, you may face significant jail time, potentially years in prison.
• Criminal Record: A DWI conviction results in a permanent criminal record, affecting employment, housing, and more.
• Increased Insurance Costs: Insurance premiums can skyrocket after a DWI conviction.
• Professional Consequences: Certain professions may impose disciplinary actions or even termination due to a DWI conviction.

Defenses Against Multiple DWI Charges

Some common defenses against multiple DWI charges may include:

• Improper Traffic Stop: We can assess whether law enforcement had a valid reason to pull you over, as any violation of your Fourth Amendment rights could lead to a dismissal of charges.
• Field Sobriety Test Errors: We can scrutinize the administration of field sobriety tests for any errors or inaccuracies that could cast doubt on the results.
• Breathalyzer or Blood Test Accuracy: We can evaluate the reliability of breathalyzer or blood test results, as any irregularities in the testing process can call the evidence into question.
• Rising Blood Alcohol Content (BAC): It's possible for your BAC to continue rising after you've stopped drinking, potentially leading to inaccurate high readings at the time of arrest.
• Violations of Miranda Rights: We can ensure that your constitutional rights were not violated during questioning and that you were informed of your right to remain silent and have an attorney present.
• Mistaken Identity: In some cases, individuals are wrongly charged with DWI due to mistaken identity, and we can thoroughly investigate to prove your innocence.
