Experienced Abilene DWI/DUI Attorney Protecting Your Rights

Defending Your Future After a DWI Arrest in Texas

If you’ve been arrested for a DWI or DUI in Texas, it may seem easier to plead guilty and move on—but that decision can have lasting consequences. Texas enforces some of the toughest penalties for intoxicated driving in the nation, and even a first offense can affect your freedom, career, and reputation.

I’m David N. DeFoore, an experienced DWI/DUI defense attorney in Abilene, dedicated to protecting the rights of drivers across the Texas Big Country. I’ve helped countless clients keep their licenses, avoid jail time, and regain control of their lives through strategic and aggressive legal defense.

Understanding Texas DWI/DUI Penalties

Texas law takes intoxicated driving seriously, with severe consequences that escalate with each offense. A first DWI conviction may bring:

• Up to 180 days in jail

• Fines of up to $2,000

• License suspension for up to one year

Repeat or felony DWI offenders face prison sentences of up to 10 years and fines as high as $10,000.

You don’t have to register a blood alcohol concentration of .08 or higher to face arrest. If law enforcement believes you were under the influence of alcohol or drugs, you can still be charged. That’s why it’s essential to have a skilled attorney who understands both the law and the science behind DWI testing.

 A Strategic Approach to DWI Defense

Every case deserves a thorough investigation and a defense tailored to your situation. I analyze every element of your arrest—from the legality of the traffic stop to the accuracy of field sobriety and chemical testing. If procedures were mishandled or your rights were violated, that evidence can be used to have your charges reduced or dismissed.

The difference between keeping your license and losing your livelihood often comes down to experienced representation. My goal is to protect your freedom, your driving privileges, and your future.
