Our First Time DWI Defense Law Firm Can Fight Your Charges!
A large percentage of people who have been arrested for DWI in Sugar Land make a serious mistake; they give up. Most people think that it's illegal to drink and drive, so when they're pulled over after having had a couple of drinks, they assume that they have been caught "red handed" and have no hope of fighting the charges. This is not the case.
It is illegal to drive with a blood alcohol concentration of .08% or more, and it is also illegal to drive when one's abilities are impaired by drugs or alcohol, but it is possible to fight – and win – a DWI case even if you had been drinking. We can review your case to determine the best strategy for your defense, and we are prepared to go the distance to protect your rights.
Penalties for a First-Time DWI in Texas
In most cases, a first-time DWI will be charged as a Class B misdemeanor. There are minimum mandatory punishments that are associated with this offense, including:
- Maximum $2,000 fine
- Up to 2 years of community supervision or probation
- Minimum of 72 hours and up to 6 months in county jail
- Minimum of 24 hours of community service
Harsher penalties may be imposed if aggravating conditions are associated with the defendant's first DWI conviction, such as if you are accused of causing an accident or while driving drunk. What's more, even one DWI conviction can lead to tougher charges in the future – meaning a higher risk of felony DWI charges. With so much on the line, you can't afford to stand by. Contact our firm today to fight for your freedom.
