Penalties for Multiple DWI Convictions

One of the few DWI penalties that is worse than a standard DWI charge, is a multiple DWI incident. Repeat DWI incidents in Texas can result in significantly increased and enhanced penalties for any individual convicted of multiple DWI charges. Two or more previous DWI convictions can cause any individual convicted of an additional DWI to face drastically severe penalties such as an automatic felony charge, increased jail sentencing and thousands of dollars in fines. If you have been charged with an additional DWI with a previous record of DWI convictions you will need immediate legal assistance to help your case. A Plano multiple DWI attorney can help you with your case, and possibly help you avoid additional or more severe charges.

Multiple DWI convictions can cause any subsequent DWI convictions to have severely increased penalties. Upon a third conviction, the person charged can face up to 10 years in prison as well as a $10,000 fine. As well as these punishments, the convicted person can lose their ability to drive for two years and be forced to remain on probation as well as perform community service for extended periods of time. This type of conviction can result in serious damage to a person's reputation for the rest of their life, causing difficulties with both job and financial opportunities.

The primary tools that law enforcement officers use to test if a driver is under the influence of alcohol or suffering from impaired driving abilities include the breath and blood tests, as well as field sobriety tests. It is possible to challenge the DWI evidence in some cases, which could help you avoid a subsequent conviction.
