If you have been in a Texas drunk driving accident or have been arrested for a DUI / DWI, you may or may not be aware of just how strict Texas DWI penalties really can be. Whether you realize it or not, these penalties can be quite severe.
Some examples of these penalties include:
Jail time – Although you probably will not face jail time for your first DUI / DWI (unless you were in a serious Texas drunk driving accident), you will face a mandatory Texas DWI penalty of three to thirty days on your second offense.
Fines – If you plead guilty, you will automatically face some costly DWI penalties – namely a minimum $3,000 surcharge, plus additional expenses.
Community Service – Another potential DWI penalty is community service. Your time is valuable, so you certainly don’t want to face hours of community service that could be better spent elsewhere.
Alcohol Classes – Another common penalty is mandatory alcohol classes. Obviously, this is the least severe of the Texas DWI penalties. But, if your DWI / DUI Lubbock attorney can get you out of it, why should you attend?
To avoid most or all of these potential Texas DWI penalties, you need a Texas criminal attorney that knows how to fight for all of your Constitutional rights.
