A DUI Attorney Who Will Fight for Your Family

If a minor is convicted of DUI, he faces an number of escalating penalties depending upon whether it’s a first, second or third offense. And the punishment become stiffer with every defense, making it more critical to mount the most aggressive defense for the first offense DUI with a Houston DUI Attorney from Trichter & LeGrand.

DUI First Offense

The minor faces a class C misdemeanor which may result in the following punishments:

  • A fine up to $500
  • 20 to 40 hours of community service
  • He or she must attend an alcohol awareness program, a drug education program or a drug and alcohol driving awareness program. If he does not complete the program, the court will order the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) to suspend or deny the issuance of the minor’s driver’s license for up to 6 months.
  • 60 days driver’s license suspension. The minor would not be eligible for an occupational license for the first 30 days
