New Enhanced DWI Offense

The Texas Legislature has created a new enhancement for certain DWI's: if you are arrested for DWI and have a BAC (blood alcohol content) of 0.15 or greater, your case will be filed as a Class A misdemeanor, instead of the standard Class B for a DWI 1st. This means that the potential fine goes from a maximum of $2000 up to $4000, and potential jail time goes up to a year, instead of six months.

  1. I don't suppose you handle Civil Rights do you? An ex boyfriend I dumped over 23 years ago has been allowed to lie to us, slander me & mentally abuse, neglect & exploit my adult daughter & I both. And the state of TX is letting him get away with it. So if you do handle this I hope you contact me.
