Law enforcement officers will pull any driver over on the slightest suspicion of DWI. The officer will then look for evidence of intoxication from alcohol or drugs. The driver may be asked to perform a field sobriety test, breathalyzer test or possibly be taken to a medical facility for a blood test. A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or higher or other evidence of intoxication establishes that the driver can be arrested for DWI. A first DWI is a misdemeanor offense unless there are aggravating circumstances such as an accident that results in severe injuries or manslaughter. A first DWI conviction can result in 3-6 days in jail, probation, a suspended license, $1000+ DWI surcharge and other fines and punishments.

Multiple DWI

A third DWI arrest results in a felony charge. You can be sentenced to up to 10 years in jail and $10,000 in fines as well as extensive community service, mandatory installation of an ignition interlock device and enrollment in a substance abuse program. These are all very serious charges and you must have the help of a knowledgeable Dallas DWI defense attorney to have the best chance of avoiding these harsh penalties.
