We Take on All Types of DWI and Related Cases in Humble, TX
Texas has strict DWI laws, as well as a network of related laws that may apply depending on the circumstances of your case. In Texas, you could face DWI charges if an officer pulls you over and you fail a breathalyzer test or the officer has other reason to believe you do not have the ability to safely operate a vehicle.
If you are under 21, you could face a DWI charge if your BAC tests above 0.08 percent. The state also has a zero-tolerance law for those under the legal drinking age. If you have any detectable level of alcohol in your blood, you could face a less severe driving under the influence (DUI) charge.
There are also several other related charges or enhanced charges related to DWI. This may include:
- Driving with an open container
- Intoxication assault or intoxication manslaughter
- Driving with a BAC above 0.15%
- DWI with child passenger

Potential Consequences of a Texas DWI
When a law enforcement officer arrests you for a Texas DWI, your license is automatically suspended through the Administrative License Revocation (ALR) process if you don’t request a hearing. This suspension occurs independently of your criminal charges, and the only way to prevent it is to request a hearing within fifteen days and win the challenge. We can represent you through this process if you contact us with sufficient time to do so.
Fighting your suspension is one reason why it is important not to waste time enlisting our help. You only have a matter of days following your arrest to request a hearing.
We also need to go to work quickly, ensuring your rights remain protected and creating a strong strategy for avoiding a conviction or the harshest of penalties in your case. This could include:
- For a first offense:
- Up to $2,000 in fines
- Up to six months in county jail
- An additional driver’s license suspension
- For a second offense:
- Up to $4,000 in fines
- 30 days to one year in jail
- An additional driver’s license suspension
- For a third or subsequent offense:
- Up to $10,000 in fines
- Two to 10 years in state prison
- An additional driver’s license suspension
- Additional consequences related to a felony conviction
