What happens to a 4 time DWI offender in TEXAS?
December 12th, 2009
A friend of mine just received his 4th DWI offense in TEXAS while on probation from his prior conviction. What is the minimum or maximum sentence? He obviously needs REHAB but what should we do to take the next steps? Any drunk driving attorneys to help or get some advice?
The third conviction in ten years and subsequent convictions is a felony of the 3rd degree. Felony 3 punishment is no less than 2 and no more than 10 years. Having been already convicted of a felony 3rd he can now be enhanced to a felony 2 which is 2-20 years and the fine can be 10 thousand for either grade felony.
Being on parole or probation, that will now be gone and he will have to serve out the remainder of that sentence as well.
Has he already been convicted or just charged? If he hasn’t gone to court yet there’s always a chance his attorney could make a plea agreement.
If convicted or no plea arrangement is made I don’t see him avoiding prison, at least a 180 day shock sentence. He needs an attorney and I would not go with a court appointed attorney.

That’s jail. Even in Minnesota you go to jail on your 3rd DUI, and house arrest on your 2nd.

Clearly spending some time in jail may be best for him
He is WAY beyond rehab in my opinion
If you want to help him go to court and ask that he gets the max

Salutations,
I am suprized he has no Interlock device on his car. was he driving on a revoked list when this happened? here’s what I think. walk him to the nearest sewer, have him tear up his DL and throw it down the sewer, before he has the accident that puts him and other innocent lives down there. He does not deserve to be behind the wheel. and by the way, Rehab only works if he is ready to admit he has a problem. so that may not help.
