Penalties for Multiple DWI Convictions in Texas

Most of the time, a first DWI offense is classified as a Class B misdemeanor. This carries penalties of up to $2,000 in fines, driver license suspension ranging from 90-365 days, and 3-180 days in jail. However, multiple DWI charges are often classified as felony offenses, which carry much higher penalties.

Second Offense DWI

This is considered a Class A misdemeanor and carries the following penalties:

Fines of up to $4,000
Jail for 30 days to 1 year
Driver license suspension for 180 days up to 2 years

DWI 3rd Offense (Third-Degree Felony)

The most common type of felony DWI in Texas is a DWI 3rd Offense. If you have two prior DWI convictions, a third offense will be charged as a felony under state law. In the past, a third DWI would be charged as a Class B Misdemeanor and treated as a first offense if at least 10 years had passed since the date of the last DWI, but this is no longer the case. Today, any prior DWIs can be used to enhance a new charge.

Fines of up to $10,000
Imprisonment for 2-10 years
Driver license suspension for 180 days up to 2 years

The penalties for multiple DWI convictions are harsh. If you are facing a second, third, or subsequent DWI charge, it is important to seek knowledgeable legal representation right away.

Second to NONE
“I would love to add my thanks and heart felt appreciation for the help that your law firm provided me. Before I met you guys my situation looked very bleak and quite honestly your dedication to my case really carried over this past year and the reward was not only one felony dismissal but two. Thank you from the Ramirez family, I will always be great full and you guys have earned a spot in my family. For anyone reading, this firm is second to NON, they know what there talking about and do exactly what they promise to do. Very professional, on time and and educate you along the whole process. I had alot to lose and you guys gave it all back to me and finally represented what true Justice is here in America. God bless you both and God bless your firm”

Manuel R.
5 Stars in making me feel like a top priority!
“Jarrod Smith of Smith and Vinson Law Firm provided me with the best service I could have possibly asked for. Having no background in law and finding myself in a situation that left me feeling extremely vulnerable, I felt quickly at ease in their care. They were very reasonable with my situation and helped work around my needs in providing me the most support and information on how to best handle my case. I'd recommend this firm to anyone seeking help with a traffic violation of any kind. I feel that if it weren't for them I would have been heavily misguided and probably would not have made it through the system with the best possible outcome for me. 5 Stars for their service, generosity, and in making me feel like a top priority!”

Andrew
Professional representation at its best!
“First and foremost, I would like to thank Brad and Jarrod for handling my case. Both of these men represented with much professionalism and didn't at all treat me like a criminal. At times I was skeptical since I was facing so much uncertainty. Both men obviously could not predict the outcome of things but assured me that they will work hard for me. They sure kept their promise on that! Both men took the time to get to know me and my situation before designing a plan to represent me. When I was in doubt with much fear they reassured me that "things will be all right". I am grateful for the representation both men have provided me and without hesitation, I would speak volumes of their service. Thank you so much!”

Victor
Professional and effective attorney
“Brad was extremely professional throughout the entire process. He was direct and prompt in responding to my inquiries and I felt at ease knowing he was taking care of my case. I will definitely use Brad and his firm in the future and highly recommend them if you need an excellent defense attorney! Thanks Brad!”
