DWI in Bastrop Texas Attorney

Having legal representation in court is important. A DWI attorney must possess the experience to identify critical aspects and ask the right questions. An accused individual usually lacks the knowledge needed for a proper defense.

Bastrop, like most places, has law enforcement officers looking for impaired drivers. If you are apprehended after consuming alcohol, you will likely be taken to the Bastrop County Jail. However this does not imply guilt. To reduce or dismiss your case, you’ll need to seek the services of an experienced DWI lawyer in Bastrop, Texas. This process may involve an investigator. I have extensive experience in handling such cases, with satisfied clients.

A Texas DWI 1st offense penalty is punishable by a fine up $2,000 for a Class B misdemeanor or $4,000 for a Class A misdemeanor. Texas DWI laws undergo frequent legislative updates, with penalties escalating based on severity and a .15 BAC test result.

A 1st offense of Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) is considered a Class B misdemeanor unless the BAC is .15 or higher. The maximum fine is $2,000 and the license suspension period spans from 90 days to one year. This is separate from the DPS Drivers License ALR hearing related to a test refusal or failure.

DUI Lawyer

In Texas, a DUI statute is reserved for drivers under 21 found with any amount of alcohol in their system. Frequently, they may not be subjected to testing to confirm the presence of alcohol: it may be based on alcohol smell or admission to recent alcohol consumption. Such cases are classified as Class C misdemeanors. For further discussion see this link: Class C Misdemeanor.

(1) $3,000 for the first conviction within a 36-month period;

(2) $4,500 for a second or subsequent conviction within a 36-month period; and

(3) $6,000 for a first or subsequent conviction if it is shown on the trial of the offense that an analysis of a specimen of the person’s blood, breath, or urine showed an alcohol concentration level of 0.15 or more at the time the analysis was performed.

(c) If the court having jurisdiction over an offense that is the basis for a fine imposed under this section makes a finding that the person is indigent, the court shall waive all fines and costs imposed on the person under this section.
