Felony DWI - 3rd or more

Our Houston DWI Attorneys Know How to Challenge Blood Test Results

If you have at least two previous DWI convictions (no matter how old in age they are or what state you received your previous DWI’s in) and you get arrested for your third (or fourth, or fifth, or sixth, etc.) DWI offense in Texas, you are now facing at least a third-degree felony charge that may result in confinement in a Texas Department of Criminal Justice – Institutional Division for a minimum of 2 years and a maximum of 10 years along with a fine up to $10,000.

However, if this is your third or more DWI, and have at least one prior trip to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice – Institutional Division (prison), then you can be looking at an increase in potential punishment up to a second-degree felony that can increase the maximum to 20 years.  If you have at least two prior trips to prison, then your charge could be enhanced that would increase the maximum range up to 25 years to life in prison if convicted. This is the time to find a DWI lawyer in the Houston Area to help with your legal case.
