Questions
What qualifies as intoxication in Texas?
Texas law defines intoxication as having a BAC of 0.08%+, impaired mental capacity, or physical inability to perform normal tasks due to alcohol/drugs.
Do I need an attorney for a DWI?
Yes. Legal representation is crucial to challenge evidence, negotiate plea deals, and protect your rights during prosecution that could result in license suspension or jail time.
Can I refuse a breath test?
While you can refuse, it triggers automatic license suspension. Our attorneys challenge test accuracy and procedural errors to build stronger defenses.
Will I go to jail for a first DWI?
First-time offenders rarely serve jail time but face probation and license suspension. Experienced defense can often reduce penalties or secure dismissals.
What happens at an ALR hearing?
An Administrative License Revocation hearing challenges license suspension through evidence review, procedural challenges, and witness testimony within 15 days of arrest.
How much does a DWI lawyer cost?
Cost varies by case complexity. Our firm offers free consultations and competitive rates considering the long-term financial impact of DWI convictions.
