DWI Charges and Penalties in Texas
Texas law uses the term “operating” a vehicle when defining this offense, which means that you can be charged even if you have not actually driven your car down the road. The mere act of having the keys in the ignition and the ability to affect the function or operation of the vehicle while intoxicated from alcohol or drug use can lead to a DWI. If your BAC measures .15 percent or more, you will face even stiffer penalties than otherwise.
You can be arrested and charged with drunk and/or drugged driving in Texas under the following circumstances:
- As an adult driver, your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) measures .08 percent or higher
- As a driver under the age of 21, your BAC measures .02 percent or more
- You visibly demonstrate being intoxicated by drugs or alcohol as observed by law enforcement
Penalties for a first DWI offense include:
- Jail time of 72 hours up to 6 months
- Fines of up to $2,000
- A loss of your driving privileges for 90 days up to a year
- Completion of a DWI education program
Additionally, your insurance premiums are likely to spike. Penalties are enhanced if you are found driving with a child passenger; driving with a BAC in excess of .15 percent; facing a second, third, or subsequent conviction; or seriously injuring or killing another in a DWI traffic accident.
