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.

Do I need an attorney for my DUI?

December 12th, 2009

I am 18. My BAC percent was .152. Monroe, Louisiana was where I was arrested.

Either the bail bond guy or the cop that arrested me told me there is no point in getting a dui defense attorney because of my situation. But I want to know if that’s true? I really don’t wanna lose my license for six months + two years probation, plus the 1000+ fine, and the classes/community service… that is shit. The fine and classes/service sure, but I dont want the license suspension or probation! Please!

Is there any hope at all? I also am charged with speeding 53 in 35 and improper lane use.

It’s a better idea to get a lawyer otherwise they will stick you with a bigger fine and the possibility of a license suspension of 3 years since you’re under the age of 21… $1000 is minimum fine it could go to $10,000.
Note you could do community service for the fine.
Also, the lawyer might be able to get the speeding and improper tickets dropped.

2nd DUI arrest but didn’t blow?

December 9th, 2009

I got a 2nd dui arrest; the first time it was brought down to wreckless driving.

This time I was not drunk, but my breath smelled like alcohol, and even though I passed the sobriety test I was still arrested. Later I refused to take the breathalyzer. What are my chances of winning this case and is it possible to get my license back if I get a drunk driving lawyer?

Your chances of getting your license back and beating the charges are good. Evidence against you is the smell of alcohol and refusal to take the breath test. Evidence in your favor (especially if it was recorded) is you passed the field test. Also, the police have to had a reason to pull you over. You will have to take the case to a jury trial. If you go before a judge only, they probably will find you guilty. You will need a good attorney. A good attorney will cost a lot. It’s well worth the money depending on the circumstances. I recommend one that specializes in DUI cases. A good way to find an expert attorney in any case is to ask someone affiliated with the courts and the local police.
I recommend you use the following site to help you find a good attorney. It’s a great site that rates lawyers and gives you info on what they specialize in. It’s relatively easy to use but just because an attorney is not listed in the site does not make them a bad attorney.
