What Is a DWI in Texas?

A DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) charge in Texas occurs when an individual operates a motor vehicle while impaired by alcohol or drugs. Texas law imposes severe penalties, including fines, jail time, and license suspension. A skilled legal defense is critical for reducing or dismissing charges.

• Third Offense: Felony charges with two to 10 years in prison, fines up to $10,000, and a two-year license suspension.
