WHAT IF I HAVE MULTIPLE DWI CASES PENDING?

If you have multiple DWI cases pending, the prosecution may use those offenses as punishment evidence against you in trial, revoke your bond on the initial DWI charge, or recommend a harsher penalty for a DWI conviction.

MULTIPLE DWI CONVICTIONS MAY NOT BE YOUR FAULT

what happens if you are convicted of DWI

It used to be in Texas that if you had a DWI that was beyond ten years old, that conviction could not be used against you in your current case to ratchet up the punishment. 

But years ago, Texas changed that law so if you had an older DWI conviction whether it was ten, twenty–even thirty years ago, it can be used to make the punishment for your present DWI conviction much more harsh. 

It can even change the grade of your current DWI offense to which you are presently being prosecuted.

You may have multiple DWI convictions because you may just be unlucky. After all, with increased efforts by law enforcement to deter drunk driving, it really doesn’t take much to get arrested. 

As a criminal defense lawyer in Houston who is also a DWI Specialist by the National College for DUI Defense, I understand this all too clearly.

But if you have an issue with alcoholism, then we need to help you address that. 

If we don’t first address your drinking problem, then you are more likely to come back with another DWI. 

And neither we (as a community) nor the courts want that because we all drive the same streets you do.

So, as a responsible citizen and a law firm that cares about our clients welfare, we try to get our clients the help they need to address all the issues we can that caused their DWI arrests and help both legally and become a better member of our community.
