Felony DWI Defense Lawyer in Texas

There are particular DWI situations that could result in a felony charge. If you are convicted of a felony, you will pay fines and spend time in jail. The amount of time you face in a Texas penitentiary will depend upon the circumstances of your case. As a convicted felon, you also face the social impact – you will not be able to get certain jobs, you may have to be on probation for many years, you might find it difficult to get a loan or secure certain places of residence.

If you have been arrested/cited for the following, you could face a felony charge:

• Third (or more) DWI – this is a 3^rd degree felony which could result in up to ten years in prison and up to $10,000 in fines, depending upon the circumstances of your case. You will also face license suspension if convicted and you will probably be put on probation with specific terms. You will also be required to complete minimally 80 hours of community service.
