Dallas DWI Attorneys
Texas Drunk Driving Laws
A drunk driving (DWI) arrest in Texas is a serious criminal matter that requires immediate action from an experienced trial attorney. Remember, being charged with DWI does not make you guilty-you have the right to request legal counsel and the right to request a hearing within 15 days of the charge in order to avoid a license suspension.
As Dallas DWI lawyers, our team has spent years helping law-abiding citizens address the serious consequences of a DWI arrest in Texas. A drunk driving conviction is not the same as a traffic violation; it is a criminal conviction that will remain on your permanent record.
With two former prosecutors and a Board Certified Criminal Specialist by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization on staff, we can help address both the criminal charges and the Administrative License Revocation (ALR) hearing which will determine the status of your driver’s license.

Fighting Against Felony DWI Charges in Texas
The consequences of a felony DWI conviction are greater than a simple DWI. Depending on your prior record and other circumstances, driving under the influence can be charged as either a misdemeanor or a felony. A third DWI will most likely be a felony, with a possible sentence of up to 10 years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine.
We can represent you at the administrative revocation hearing to contest the suspension of your driver’s license. The period of suspension will vary, but generally, for repeat offenses and felony DWI charges, the suspension will be between 6 months and 2 years.
