Being charged with a DWI in Texas is serious, and the consequences can affect your freedom, finances, and future. A first offense can lead to fines of up to $2,000, up to 180 days in jail, and a one-year license suspension.
Repeat offenders face steeper penalties, including fines of up to $10,000, years in prison, and mandatory ignition interlock devices (IIDs). Beyond legal consequences, a DWI can impact your job, reputation, and personal relationships.
Arlington sees a high number of DWI cases each year, reflecting Texas’s strict approach to impaired driving. Local courts and prosecutors pursue convictions aggressively, leaving little room for error when defending your case.
Our law firm understands the fear, stress, and uncertainty that accompany a DWI charge. We take a client-focused approach, listening to your concerns, explaining your options clearly, and fighting to protect your rights at every step.

Missing this deadline results in automatic suspension, disrupting your daily life, limiting your ability to work, and creating long-term challenges. Our defense attorneys act fast to file your request, gather evidence, and present a strong case to help you keep your license.
