Penalties for Multiple DWI Convictions in Texas

In Texas, if you are caught driving with a BAC that exceeds the legal limit, you can be charged with a DWI. If you are convicted of a first-time DWI in Texas, you can face penalties such as:

• Up to 180 days in jail
• A fine of up to $2,000
• Driver's license suspension of up to 1 year
• Annual surcharge from the Texas Department of Transportation of $1,000 for 3 years

However, if you are convicted of multiple DWIs, you can be subject to much harsher penalties, including mandatory jail time and a mandatory driver's license suspension.

Second DWI Conviction

If you are convicted of a second DWI in Texas, you can face some or all of the following penalties:

• Up to 1 year in jail or up to 2 years of probation
• A fine of up to $4,000
• Driver's license suspension
• Annual surcharge for 3 years to keep your driver's license
• Installation of an ignition interlock device in your vehicle

An ignition interlock device requires you to submit a breath sample before starting your vehicle. If the device detects alcohol on your breath, your vehicle will not start.

Third DWI Conviction

A felony DWI conviction can have a devastating impact on a person's personal and professional life, making it difficult to secure employment and find a place to live. Furthermore, a felony conviction can result in a loss of certain rights and privileges, such as the right to vote and the right to own a firearm.

Penalties for a Felony DWI Conviction
