An intoxication assault charge is one of the most serious DWI-related offenses in Texas. A conviction can result in prison time, a felony record, loss of driving privileges, and life-changing consequences. If you or a loved one has been charged with intoxication assault, you need an experienced defense attorney immediately.
At The Seiler Law Firm, we aggressively defend clients facing felony intoxication assault charges throughout Montgomery County and surrounding Texas courts.
What Is Intoxication Assault?
Under Texas law, intoxication assault occurs when a person is alleged to have operated a motor vehicle while intoxicated and caused serious bodily injury to another person.
These cases often arise from:
- Car accidents involving injuries
- Motorcycle accidents
- Commercial vehicle collisions
- Multi-vehicle crashes
- Accidents involving pedestrians or passengers
Because serious injuries are involved, prosecutors frequently pursue these cases aggressively.
Penalties for Intoxication Assault in Texas
Intoxication assault is generally charged as a third-degree felony in Texas. A conviction may result in:
- Significant prison exposure
- Large fines
- Probation or community supervision
- Driver’s license suspension
- Mandatory ignition interlock device
- Permanent felony criminal record
A felony conviction can also impact employment, housing opportunities, firearm rights, and professional licenses.
Building a Strong Defense
An arrest does not automatically mean a conviction. Every intoxication assault case should be carefully investigated for weaknesses in the prosecution’s evidence.
Defense strategies may involve:
- Challenging the legality of the traffic stop
- Reviewing accident reconstruction evidence
- Questioning breath or blood test reliability
- Examining whether intoxication actually caused the accident
- Investigating medical evidence and injury claims
- Identifying procedural errors or constitutional violations
In many cases, early intervention by an experienced attorney can make a major difference in the outcome.
