Drunk Driving Charges in Texas

You can be arrested for driving while intoxicated (DWI) if your breath/blood alcohol concentration is .08 or higher, or if the arresting officers decide that you no longer have the "normal use" of your physical or mental faculties due to the influence of alcohol or drugs. It is important to contact us as soon as you have been arrested so that we can protect your rights.

Consequences of DWI

Charges for drunk driving may range from misdemeanor through serious felony prosecution, depending on the circumstances and how many times a person has been previously convicted for DWI. The penalties for drunk driving increase with each offense:

• 1st offense: Sentence not to exceed 180 days (6 months) in jail and a fine not to exceed $2,000
• 2nd offense: Sentence not to exceed 1 year in jail and a fine not to exceed $4,000
• 3rd offense: Sentence not to exceed 10 years in prison and fine not to exceed $10,000

Even if you are facing your first DWI offense, your license will likely be subject to suspension. Contact us to find out how we can help. We will represent you in the administrative hearing to get your driving privileges back, or obtain an occupational driver's license so that you can travel to and from work and other essential places.

Texas has a zero tolerance policy for anyone under 21 found in possession of alcohol or arrested for drunk driving. We will work to avoid a conviction and focus on rehabilitation.

We will evaluate the evidence in your case and determine whether it is likely to be admissible in court. When possible, we will work to discredit the field sobriety and breath or blood tests and have that evidence dismissed.

When Experience Matters ... "Think Wenk"

DWI charges are taken very seriously in Texas. We encourage you to schedule a FREE OFFICE CONSULTATION at our office, during which we can discuss the facts of your case and attorney Wenk can explain the legal procedure that applies to your case. This office consultation gives you an opportunity to develop a "comfort zone" with your lawyer, which is essential to a successful "attorney-client" relationship. Call 512-392-WENK or contact us online to schedule today.

Our office in San Marcos is located within one block of the Hays County Justice Center. We are available in our office between 8:00 am and 5:00 pm Monday through Friday and additional times by appointment.

For your convenience, we accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover and American Express and offer free initial consultations.
