Hiring Jeff Kennedy turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life. Mr. Kennedy was able to have my case dismissed. Yes, outright dismissal of the charge!

We did exactly as Jeff instructed and the case was dismissed. There are no words to explain how happy we are with his performance.

Jeff was able to get my twice the legal limit BAC thrown out and he kept me from having an interlock device put on my car.

What Happens When You Get Your First DWI?

Texas takes DWIs seriously, which is reflected in the discretion judges have to dole out punishment to offenders. In the case of a DWI, there’s no such thing as second chances or get-out-jail-free cards; you can expect to face legal and personal consequences, even if it’s your first charge.

Read on to find out about what happens when you get your first DWI to stay informed. If you’re facing first-time DWI charges, consider talking to an experienced DWI lawyer in Fort Worth

First-Time DWI Offense in Texas: What Happens?

Even if you’ve been arrested for a DWI, the real punishments can’t go into effect unless you’re convicted in a court of law. This is why many people arrested on these charges take the step of calling a trusted lawyer before facing conviction. 

In Texas, penalties for a first-time DWI offender may include suspension of your license, a fine of up to $4,000 plus fees, and even jail time. Offenders can be charged with either a Class B or Class A misdemeanor, depending on their blood alcohol content. Finally, you could also be required to take a DWI education program, complete community service, or be placed on probation.
