Texas has some of the toughest laws against drunk driving in the country, and law enforcement agencies from the local police to the highway patrol will take every available measure to pursue a conviction if there is any evidence against you. Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) is a Class B misdemeanor under state law, with a minimum penalty of 72 hours in jail, a maximum of 180 days in jail and $2,000 in fines for a first conviction. This punishment is designed to convince you never to commit the crime again.
If you have been arrested for a suspected 2nd, 3rd, or 4th DWI or DUI, the penalty you face is significantly greater than on the first arrest. Section 49.09 of the Texas Penal Code, "Enhanced Offenses and Penalties," describes a graduated series of increases in the sentencing for drunk driving offenders, according to the number of prior convictions on the defendant's record.
