Texas DWI Laws

The laws for driving while intoxicated (DWI) and driving under the influence (DUI) in Texas include:

  • It is illegal to operate a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.08% or higher.
  • For drivers under 21 years of age, the legal limit is 0.02%.
  • Refusal to take a breath or blood test can result in a license suspension.
  • A person can be charged with DWI if they are found to be operating a vehicle in a public place while impaired by alcohol or drugs, regardless of their BAC.
  • It is illegal to operate a watercraft under the influence of alcohol or drugs in Texas.
  • Individuals can be arrested for DWI if they are found to be in actual physical control of a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
  • A DWI with a child passenger under 15 years of age is a state jail felony.
  • If a person is convicted of DWI and causes an accident that results in death, they can be charged with intoxication and manslaughter.
  • Individuals can also be charged with Intoxication Assault if they caused serious bodily injury to another person while driving under the influence.

It is important to note that DWI laws can be complex and vary between jurisdictions. A qualified attorney should be consulted if you have been charged with DWI in Texas.

Thousands of people are injured or killed in Texas yearly due to alcohol-related accidents. Texas holds one of the highest averages in the United States for collisions caused by driving while intoxicated (DWI). With such a high rate of injury-causing accidents and fatal crashes, it is no surprise that Texas law enforcement aggressively searches for and arrests drivers operating their vehicles under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

While law enforcement officers intend to keep unsafe drivers off the roadways, they sometimes overstep their boundaries and wrongfully accuse or arrest drivers of being intoxicated.

In some circumstances, drivers' rights are significantly infringed upon during traffic stops, arrests, or breath/blood specimen collection processes. As an experienced Denton DWI lawyer, Attorney Nathan Miller has been highly trained to identify these DWI case issues and aggressively pursue the best possible resolution for each case.
