Will I go to Jail After a First DWI Arrest in Texas?
Generally, the answer is No. While there’s no guarantee on the outcome of any case (even for a first-time DWI offense), the State is usually more focused on rehabilitation, as opposed to jail time. Even with difficult facts, such as a high blood alcohol concentration (BAC) or a vehicle accident, there are ways to effectively negotiate with the State to avoid jail time. There are numerous programs that can help resolve your case without jail time, including some that may result in a dismissal.

We can help demonstrate your personal responsibility, like AA Meetings, alcohol education and community service, which can help obtain a beneficial outcome. By taking proactive steps and having a strong legal defense, the risk of jail time decreases, protecting your freedom and future opportunities.
