DWI is an abbreviation for “Driving While Intoxicated.” DWI is sometimes referred to as “DUI” or “Driving Under the Influence,” however the term “DUI” does not exist in Minnesota. DWI involves the act of operating and/or driving a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and/or drugs to the degree that mental and motor skills are impaired. DWI laws also apply to recreational vehicles, such as an ATV, boat or snowmobile, and piloting an airplane.

Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) is a criminal offense that says a person may not drive a motor vehicle in a public place while “intoxicated.” The Texas Legislature (Texas Penal Code (§724) 49.01) has defined a DWI as “not having the normal use of mental or physical faculties by reason of the introduction of alcohol, a controlled substance, a drug, a dangerous drug, a combination of two or more of those substances, or any other substance into the body” or “having an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more”. A prosecuting attorney needs to prove only one of these statements to the jury in order to get a guilty verdict.
