What are the penalties for DWI in Texas?
This is a criminal matter, and there are serious consequences associated with a DWI offense. You could be required to serve jail time. You may be required to attend a three- to six-month drug and alcohol program. You may lose your license for months or even years. Attempting to get your license back from the Department of Public Safety can cost you thousands of dollars over a three-year period. If you do reclaim your license, you could be required to place a breath testing device on your car. You could lose your job if your license is suspended or if you are convicted. These and other serious collateral consequences to a DWI can have a severe negative impact on your life.
