Felony DWI

What Qualifies As A Felony DWI?

In Texas, a charge of felony DWI occurs in one of three ways:

• A driver has a child passenger who is under 14 years old when stopped for driving while intoxicated
• A driver has been convicted with two prior DWI charges, and this arrest could lead to a third DWI charge
• The driver causes another person serious bodily injury or a fatality while driving intoxicated

The penalties are harsh. Attorney Hall considers those as seriously as you do.
