Criminal Lawyer in Dallas

Texas DWI and DUI

According to the Texas Penal Code, the legal limit for intoxication is .08 blood alcohol concentration (BAC). However, if a police officer believes you are driving drunk or that your driving is impaired, you can still be stopped and arrested for DWI, regardless of your BAC. For each subsequent DWI offense, the penalties get increasingly severe.

For these reasons, it is imperative that an experienced Dallas criminal defense attorney represent you if you have been charged with driving while intoxicated in Texas. Attorney Alan C. Kazdoy has helped many people facing these charges reduce or eliminate their sentence. People make mistakes and Alan Kazdoy is committed to helping those people get a second chance.

Penalties of Texas DWI convictions

Texas DWI arrests are a very serious matter. Penalties are severe and can cost you time, money, privileges and freedom on a very grand scale. It is perfectly legal for a person to drink and then drive a car, as long as the person is not legally intoxicated. However, many non-intoxicated drivers are arrested for DWI. Alan can help these people get back on track and potentially avoid some of the following Texas penalties for DWI convictions:

First Texas DWI conviction

  • $2,000 fine
  • Six months in jail
  • Suspended license for a year
  • $1,000 per year surcharge for three years

Second Texas DWI conviction

  • $4,000 fine
  • One year in jail
  • Suspended license for two years
  • $1,500 per year surcharge for three  years

Third Texas DWI conviction

  • $10,000 fine
  • Two to ten years in state prison
  • Suspended license for two years
  • $2,000 per year surcharge for three years
