- 20-40 hours of community service
- Up to a $500 fine
- Attendance at alcohol awareness classes
- Additional penalties for an underage drinking conviction
We have years of first-hand experience in the rapidly changing Texas DWI/DUI laws and the requirements of the DPS. It is of the utmost importance to realize that your defense team should specialize in DWI/DUI cases. The nature of these offenses and the many special interest groups behind the severity of the punishments make drinking and driving charges a serious issue. Nevertheless, one small piece of forgotten information on the part of the arresting officer can lead to an immediate dismissal of your case. You deserve an attorney who is experienced in this particular field and will educate you on every aspect of your case.
