In the State of Texas, drunk driving charges can result in the loss of your driving privileges, fines, mandatory education classes, probation, and even jail time.
These consequences also leave a mark on your personal life and can result in family trouble and employment complications as you struggle with getting back and forth to work without a license, or, depending on your profession, are terminated upon being charged.
At the Nava Law Group, P.C., our Houston drunk driving attorneys focus on delivering results for our clients, so a DWI charge does not ruin their current quality of life or jeopardize their futures.
When is a Driver Considered Legally Drunk in Texas?
Drivers who are pulled over under the suspicion of drunk driving, or who are determined to be impaired when pulled over for another reason, are considered legally drunk under the following terms.
When their blood alcohol content, or BAC, is:
- .08 for non-commercial drivers ages 21 and over
- .04 for commercial drivers, including school bus drivers
- Any detectable amount of alcohol registered in drivers under the age of 21
Drunk driving charges are unique to the accused individual, as their age, BAC, and previous driving record or convictions will determine how the prosecutor prepares their case.
