Have You Been Charged with Drunk Driving in Texas?

After a drunk-driving arrest, it is imperative that you deal with the charges immediately. Criminal charges of driving while intoxicated (DWI) can result in probation or jail time, enormously increased insurance rates, and terrible effects on your reputation, your job, and your relationships. If your drunk driving resulted in an accident in which someone was injured, you could be charged with assault with a deadly weapon and face a costly personal injury lawsuit. Worse, if the accident was fatal or resulted in injury, you could be charged with vehicular manslaughter or intoxication assault.

An arrest for drunk driving can also mean a driver’s license suspension. The failure to request a license suspension hearing in a timely manner typically results in a lost driver’s license for six months. This can be a true hardship in Texas, where public transportation may not be available. You could lose your job.
