Prior Convictions for DWI

2nd, 3rd or 4 th DWI Arrest: The Consequences

Driving while intoxicated is widely regarded as one of the most irresponsible and potentially devastating things a person can do behind the wheel. The truth is that many DWI's occur in individuals who made a simple error in judgment after having a couple of drinks. Law enforcement aggressively pursues DWI offenders through traffic stops and administration of field sobriety tests as well as breath and blood tests that can return a chemical measure of the level of alcohol in the drivers' blood. In many cases, officers are authorized to make a DWI arrest even if BAC and field sobriety tests do not meet the legal criteria for DWI. Multiple DWI's are a very real concern for many drivers who continue to pay for past mistakes on their record, and a skilled Houston DWI attorney is in the best position to help you face these challenges.

Second-offense DWI convictions traditionally carry fines not exceeding $4,000 with county jail sentences up to one year. Three or more DWI convictions may warrant fines up to 10,000 in addition to state penitentiary sentences ranging anywhere from 2 to 10 years depending on the specifics of the offense. Multiple DWI convictions also require the fulfillment of community service, license suspension and the mandatory installation of interlock ignition devices, either as part of probation or sentencing.
