What is the difference between a misdemeanor and a felony DWI in Texas?
In Texas, a DWI is typically a misdemeanor offense, but it can be charged as a felony if certain aggravating factors are present, such as multiple prior convictions or causing injury or death.
Can I get a restricted license after a DWI conviction in Texas?
Yes, in some cases, you may be eligible for a restricted license that allows you to drive to work or school after a DWI conviction in Texas, but it depends on the circumstances of your case.
If I am driving a vehicle and an officer stops me and asks me to do a field sobriety test and/or provide a breath or blood sample, do I have to take the test?
NO! Since you cannot be compelled to be a witness against yourself, you have no legal obligation to perform the field sobriety tests. Furthermore, if you are arrested for the offense of Driving While Intoxicated or Driving Under the Influence, you cannot be forced to give a breath or blood sample. There are legal ramifications for refusing to take a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) test. If you refuse to take a BAC test your driving privileges may be suspended for 60 days up to 2 years. However, if you take a BAC test and fail your driving privileges could be suspended from 60 days to 1 year
