Understanding DWI and DUI Charges in Texas
Driving under the influence in Texas can lead to serious legal repercussions. It’s important to understand the differences between DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) and DUI (Driving Under the Influence) charges to navigate the legal process effectively.
Differentiating DWI and DUI
DWI refers to operating a vehicle with mental or physical impairment from alcohol, controlled substances, or dangerous drugs, typically with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08 or above. DUI involves similar charges but can occur with a BAC below 0.08 and may include the use of marijuana or other drugs.
Potential Legal Consequences
Both DWI and DUI charges carry potential penalties such as license suspension, mandatory classes, community service, fines, and in severe cases, felony charges. Additionally, individuals may face professional, employment, and personal challenges as a result of these charges.
Legal Defense Strategies
Seeking the guidance of an experienced DWI/DUI lawyer is essential for those facing such charges. A lawyer can help explore defense strategies, such as challenging probable cause or unreliable tests, to mitigate or dismiss charges.
