Kaufman County DWI Attorney and Criminal Penalties

In Texas, there are two types of issues you face with a DWI charge. Aside from a possible administrative hearing that reviews the circumstances surrounding your arrest to see if your license should be administratively suspended, you must go to court where a jury or judge will decide your fate. In any DWI case, you have the right to a jury trial, but if you are convicted, it is up to the judge what punishment you will receive. In Texas, there is mandatory punishments and consequences that deny the judge any discretion as to the punishment if your BA is of a certain level, or if you have refused to take a mandatory test. Fr each prior conviction of DWI within the previous 5-10 years, the punishment will become more severe, and these may also be mandatory minimum sentences.
