Plano DWI Attorney

First Time DWI

The state of Texas is renowned for handing down stiff punishments for criminal offenses and DWI is no exception. It is against the law to operate a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration of .08% or greater in all fifty states. If you have been pulled over by a police officer during a routine traffic stop and through chemical testing it was revealed that you blew over the legal threshold, you are most certainly facing administrative and criminal consequences.

Sadly, DWI is one of the most popular crimes committed by average citizens without any prior criminal history. They stand to contend with a great deal of repercussions if they are ultimately convicted of DWI in Texas. A Plano DWI attorney from the Zendeh Del Law Firm can provide you with vigorous and aggressive legal support during your time of need.

First Time DWI Penalties in Texas

If you were arrested for DWI in Plano or the surrounding communities and this was your first offense of this nature, you can expect the following penalties if convicted:

• Up to $2,000 in monetary fines
• Up to 180 days in jail
• Up to 1 year driver's license suspension
• Probation
• Mandatory attendance at a MADD Victim Impact Panel

If this was your first brush with the wrong side of the law and you don't have a prior criminal record, you will more than likely be charged with a Class B misdemeanor. However, due to recent changes in Texas law, under House Bill 1199, if your blood alcohol concentration was at or above 0.15% at the time of your arrest, you could be charged with a Class A misdemeanor offense, which is more serious. Prior to the passage of the bill, only drunk drivers were charged with a Class A misdemeanor on their second offense, not their first one. Read more about House Bill 1199…
