Houston DWI turns into a double whammy

As a Houston DWI attorney I see many different types of cases.  A person is always surprised when they are charged with a felony for their first DWI arrest.  This commonly happens when a driver gets into an accident while intoxicated and a person suffers an injury.  This increases the classification from a misdemeanor to a felony.

Please keep in mind that just because a person is charged with a felony means that they will not be convicted of this charge.  The case may still be dismissed or reduced to a misdemeanor.
