DWI With a Child

Perhaps this is your first DWI , or maybe you obtained a DWI many years ago, but suddenly you find yourself charged with a DWI case that it is a state jail felony. How can this be legal? The State of Texas has stated that: "A person commits an offense (of driving while intoxicated with a child passenger) if the person is intoxicated while operating a motor vehicle in a public place, and a passenger who is younger than 15 years of age occupies the vehicle." An offense under this section is a state jail felony. If you are facing a DWI with a child passenger the punishment of this type of case can be staggering. The State can request you spend up to two years in the state jail and pay a fine. When facing a Felony charge, you need a DWI defense team that has the trial experience to help you through this situation. The Law Offices of Richard C.
