DWI Manslaughter Defense Attorney
Working to Reduce Charges & Serious Penalties
DWI and DUI allegations are serious charges that pose equally serious criminal penalties. DWI manslaughter, on the other hand, is nothing short of devastating. When a motorist is driving while intoxicated and causes an accident that involves the death of another person, they can be prosecuted for intoxication manslaughter. According to ยง 49.08 of the Texas Penal Code, a person convicted of intoxication manslaughter is guilty of a second degree felony.
Penalties for a DWI manslaughter conviction can include:
- A minimum sentence of 2 years in prison
- A maximum sentence of 20 years in prison
- May also face additional fines of up to $10,000
As these penalties are extremely serious, it is of the utmost importance that you seek qualified and experienced representation from a Dallas DWI attorney at Knight Law Office.
