A driving while intoxicated (DWI) conviction is one sure way of getting higher auto insurance rate for you. And with this, I’ll never recommend drinking and driving at any times.

As to your questions about DUI/DWI Laws, having convicted of DWI in Texas is considered a class B misdemeanor:

For first time offenders, it means serving a jail time for a minimum of 72 hours or 3 days, or if you are caught with your alcoholic container open, it means a jail time for 6 days.

In addition, you will also be required to pay fine not exceeding $2000. However, this does not include other additional charges which you may be required to pay;

Moreover, your license will be suspended for a period of one year. For this, a person may be given an occupational or conditional license.

Also, he will be required to attend a 12 hour DWI program;

Furthermore, he will be required to do community service for a minimum of 24 hrs but not exceeding 100 hours.

Lastly, his vehicle will not be impounded.

I hope I was able to help you with your DUI/DWI Laws inquiry. I always emphasized the importance of driving carefully. Please do not drink and drive. It does not only save your life but also the life of other people.
