DWI Penalties in Texas
In Texas, the consequences of DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) can be both severe and financially devastating. Under state law, a prosecutor needs to establish only one of the following to secure a conviction:
1. You did not have the normal use of your mental or physical faculties due to alcohol, drugs, or a combination of substances; or
2. Your blood or breath alcohol concentration was over the legal limit of .08 percent.
This means that you could face penalties even with a BAC under .08 or without providing a breath sample. Given the complexities and potential repercussions of a DWI charge, it's crucial to enlist the help of a knowledgeable DWI attorney like Clyde Burleson, who can guide you through the legal maze and help formulate an effective defense strategy.
