DWI

In Texas, which has a zero-tolerance policy toward drunk driving, you can still be charged with the crime even if your blood alcohol content is below the legal limit of .08%. Having a DWI for the first time is a class B misdemeanor. However, if you are apprehended with a blood alcohol level of .12% or more, you may be charged with a felony, especially if you have had a DWI conviction within the previous ten years or were involved in an accident that resulted in injury.

A DUI accusation may be brought against you if you are under 21 and are caught drinking and driving. A license suspension for 60 days, a fine of up to $500, community service, and the requirement to participate in an alcohol awareness program are all potential sanctions for a first DUI offense.

Similar punishments still apply if you are under 18, but you must appear in court with a parent or guardian at all times. If the blood alcohol level is higher than the legal limit of .08%, the court may decide to punish you up to $2000, suspend your license for a year, and sentence you to 180 days in jail.

The best advice is to never drive after drinking. However, you should seek quick legal counsel if you do so and are subsequently detained.

Expungement

The Noe Gonzalez Law Group provides criminal record clearing if you are concerned that an arrest or prosecution record can obstruct your efforts to join college, find employment, acquire a loan, obtain an apartment, or complete other official application processes (also known as criminal record expunction).

According to Texas law, a person may seal their arrest or prosecution record to prevent employers, loan officers, managers of apartment buildings, college admissions officers, and other parties from learning about their criminal history. A record is "expunged" if the State dismisses the case, the defendant is found not guilty after a trial, the petition for expunction is granted, or the defendant successfully completes a Pre-Trial Diversion program.
