- DWI Conviction

DWI and other Intoxication related
offenses are the least discriminatory criminal allegations --
every person, regardless of gender, race, or economic status,
may find themselves accused of this crime.
In Texas hese laws are extremely complicated,
with each outcome resulting in additional consequences. The
best action for a person accused of this crime is to seek and
retain an experienced attorney. A person accused should seek
an lawyer with substantial trial experience and one who understands
law enforcement investigation techniques and training, and the
scientific evidence of intoxication (DWI) crimes.
Practical DWI Resolution
There are only two practical ways
to resolve a DWI. A person can plead guilty, in which case they
will have a final conviction and will face a multitude of penalties
to retain their driving privilege. OR a
person can exercise their constitutional right to a trial and
force the State to meet its burden of proving the offense beyond
a reasonable doubt with the help of an attorney. Although there are times and circumstances
that dictate the State to dismiss a DWI charge, the overwhelming
majority of DWI arrests result in formal criminal charges and
prosecution. It is only through the trial process that a person
accused may be found not guilty. With a conviction resulting
in jail time or probation, fines, loss of driving privileges,
or assessed surcharges, a person accused of DWI has little to lose by trying their case.
