Fort Worth Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) Lawyer
Have you, a friend or a loved one been arrested for driving while intoxicated (DWI)? If so, you must act to prevent losing your driver’s license. If you have been arrested for a DWI and have received a Notice of Suspension regarding your driver’s license, you have 15 days from the date of your arrest to schedule an Administrative License Revocation (ALR) hearing.
In Texas, a person can be charged with driving while intoxicated (DWI) if, during the operation of a motor vehicle, they have lost the normal use of their mental or physical faculties by reason of the introduction of alcohol or drugs into their body. A person can also be charged with DWI if their blood alcohol concentration is .08% or higher at the time of driving.
A DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) is a serious criminal offense that carries with it serious financial and long-term consequences. If you are convicted of DWI, you stand to lose thousands of dollars in increased insurance premiums and in fines imposed upon you by the Texas Department of Public Safety. Additionally, first time DWI offenders could face up to $2,000 in fines, 72 hours to 180 days in jail and the suspension of one’s driver’s license for a period of 90 days to 1 year.
