 Texas DWI/DUI Defense: Protect Your License and Future  

A DWI/DUI arrest in Texas can be a frightening experience.  These charges carry serious consequences, impacting your driver's license, finances, and even your future employment.  At Alex R. Tandy, P.C., our Fort Worth DWI/DUI defense attorney will fight aggressively to protect your rights and minimize the potential penalties.

Understanding Texas DWI/DUI Laws:

• DWI vs. DUI:  While often used interchangeably, there's a technical difference. 
  • DWI (Driving While Intoxicated): Applies to drivers with a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of .08 or higher.
  • 
    
  • DUI (Driving Under the Influence): Refers to driving while impaired by alcohol or drugs, even if the BAC is below .08.
• Zero Tolerance for Minors:  Anyone under 21 caught driving with any detectable amount of alcohol faces serious consequences.

Texas DWI/DUI Penalties:

The severity of penalties depends on various factors like your BAC level, number of prior offenses, and if there were any accidents or injuries involved.  Potential consequences include:

• License Suspension:  First offense can result in license suspension for up to 180 days.  Penalties become harsher for repeat offenses.
• Jail Time:  First offense can lead to jail time of up to 3 days, but subsequent offenses can result in significant jail time.
• Steeper Fines:  Expect hefty fines for DWI/DUI convictions.
• Ignition Interlock Device (IID):  Required for some offenders to install a device in their vehicle that prevents starting the car if alcohol is detected on your breath.
• Increased Insurance Rates:  A DWI/DUI conviction can significantly increase your auto insurance premiums.

Don't Plead Guilty Without a Fight:

Many people mistakenly plead guilty to DWI/DUI charges without understanding their options.  Our Fort Worth DWI/DUI defense attorney will explore all possible defenses, such as:

• Unlawful Traffic Stop:  Police must have a valid reason to pull you over.  If the stop was illegal, evidence obtained might be inadmissible.
• Faulty Breathalyzer Test:  Breathalyzer machines can malfunction, and we can challenge the test results.
• Missed Field Sobriety Test:  These tests are not foolproof, and their administration might be flawed.
• Rising BAC:  Your BAC can continue to rise after you've stopped drinking.  A skilled attorney can use this to your advantage.
