There are numerous ways to defend DUI/DWI charges, and every defense depends on the unique facts and circumstances of your case. The Knox Firm team will diligently review all the evidence to determine the best available defense and to obtain the best possible outcome.
Understanding the Differences between DUI and DWI in Texas
The terms “DUI” and “DWI” are often used interchangeably in everyday conversation; however, they have meaningful distinctions under Texas law. In Texas, a DUI offense applies to drivers under the age of 21 who drive while having any detectable amount of alcohol in their system. A DUI is considered a Class C misdemeanor.
​
A “DWI,” on the other hand, applies to drivers operating a motor vehicle while having an alcohol concentration of .08 or higher. A first-time DWI is typically considered a Class B misdemeanor. DWI penalties increase considerably, however, for repeat offenders and for intoxicated drivers who had a child passenger or caused serious bodily injury or death to another person.
License Suspension / ALR Hearings / Occupational License
In addition to representing individuals charged with DUI or DWI, attorneys at The Knox Firm also defend clients in Administrative License Revocation (ALR) hearings as well as proceedings for occupational driver’s licenses.
