First Time DWI

For many people, a DWI is often the first and only brush they have with the law. They’re unfamiliar with the criminal justice system and aren’t sure what steps to take in order to best protect their freedom and way of life. Does this situation sound like yours?

Whether or not you've been falsely accused, or just made a simple mistake, it's critical to make sure your first DWI charge is dealt with properly. Even a first time DWI conviction can carry serious consequences, and puts you in a dangerous position should you ever face get arrested again for driving under the influence of alcohol. Additionally, a newly enacted provision to Texas law makes the consequences of a DWI conviction much more severe if you have a BAC higher than 0.15 – even for first offenses.

It’s important to take action as soon as possible because there are multiple legal actions being brought against you. The first is an Administrative License Revocation hearing which is a civil action that determines if your driver's license will be suspended, and if so for how long. The second legal action that will be brought against you are the criminal charges for your DWI offense. There is a small window of time to request a hearing to prevent your license getting suspended, which is why you need to contact a Houston DWI Attorney as soon as possible.
