Multiple Driving While Intoxicated Fines in Texas

The criminal charge for driving while intoxicated will have different repercussions depending on how many prior convictions you have, how old you are, what kind of license you have, and how severe the offense was.  Even if this is your first conviction for driving while intoxicated, you still run the danger of receiving prison time, a fine, having your license suspended, attending DWI school, and maybe being required to use an ignition interlock device. You will likely need to apply for an Occupational Driver’s License.  However, after that, the consequences are only going to become worse.

In the state of Texas, receiving a second or third conviction for driving while intoxicated can result in the following consequences:

A DWI for the Second Time

• A fine of up to $4,000 may be imposed.
• A detention period ranging from one month to one year.
• A possible suspension of the driver’s license for up to two years
• A fee that must be paid on a yearly basis in order to maintain your license.
• Education on drunk driving or an intervention program
• Installation of an ignition interlock device is a possibility.

Third DWI Offense (Felony DWI)

• A possible punishment of up to $10,000 and state jail time ranging from 2 to 10 years
• A possible suspension of the driver’s license for up to two years
• A fee that must be paid on a yearly basis in order to maintain your license.
• Education on drunk driving or an intervention program
• Installation of an ignition interlock device is a possibility.

The orders from the judge will specify whether or not you are required to install an ignition interlock device (IID).  If the court decides that you require an IID, you will have thirty days to get one placed after they make their decision. It is also possible that the judge will order you to participate in a DWI education program or a DWI intervention program. This, too, will depend on the exact orders issued by the judge.  Other consequences can happen in your family, such as a Divorce or Child Custody Suit, especially if a child present when you received your DWI.
