What Makes a DWI a Felony in Texas?

In Texas, a DWI may become a felony under several circumstances, including:

• Third or subsequent DWI offense
• DWI with a child passenger
• Intoxication assault
• Intoxication manslaughter
• Prior felony convictions related to intoxication offenses

Felony DWI cases are aggressively prosecuted and often involve enhanced penalties, longer license suspensions, probation conditions, ignition interlock requirements, and possible prison sentences.

Penalties for Felony DWI

Depending on the charge, penalties may include:

• State prison time
• Thousands of dollars in fines
• Lengthy driver’s license suspension
• Mandatory ignition interlock device
• Community supervision or probation
• Permanent criminal record

A felony conviction can also affect employment opportunities, professional licenses, firearm rights, and future background checks.

Building a Strong Defense

Every felony DWI case is different. Attorney Mike Seiler carefully reviews every detail of the arrest to identify weaknesses in the prosecution’s case.

Possible defense strategies may include:

• Challenging the legality of the traffic stop
• Questioning field sobriety test procedures
• Examining breath or blood test accuracy
• Investigating police conduct and protocol violations
• Reviewing video evidence and witness statements
• Identifying constitutional rights violations

Many DWI arrests involve errors in procedure, improper testing methods, or incomplete investigations that may help reduce or dismiss charges.
