San Antonio Felony DWI Lawyers

Defending Clients against Felony DWI Charges

The majority of people arrested for impaired driving in Texas will be charged with misdemeanors. In cases of more serious circumstances, however, a driver may face felony charges. Examples of felony DWI cases include those involving drivers with previous DWI convictions or where a driver has been involved in an accident causing injury. Felony charges are a serious matter that can lead to life-changing consequences such as imprisonment, heavy fines, probation, and court-ordered community service. If you have been charged with a felony DWI, it is essential that you involve a reliable attorney immediately to defend your rights and protect your freedom and future.

Contact Smith & Vinson Law Firm at (210) 960-9557 today.

What Leads to a Texas Felony DWI Case?

Felony DWI charges may result from:

Being convicted of a third or subsequent DWI
Causing serious bodily injury to another as a result of impaired driving
Causing the death of another as a result of impaired driving
Driving while impaired with a child under the age of 15 in the vehicle

Penalties for a third DWI charged as a third-degree felony may include two to 10 years imprisonment, a $10,000 fine, and a two-year license suspension. A fourth DWI may be charged as a second-degree felony punishable by up to 25 years in prison along with a similar fine and suspension as the third-degree felony conviction.

Similar penalties accrue for those convicted of second- or third-degree felonies in the cases of injury, fatality, or a minor in the vehicle with the exception of potentially decreased license suspension times and decreased jail time for driving impaired with a minor.

Manuel R.
He's a real lawyer!
“A civil issue arose in Austin with a family member. We sought the advice of a well named Austin attorney. This unnamed attorney provided egregious legal advice. In court, a lifetime civil injunction was ruled by the judge on this non-criminal civil issue. Once learning of this judgement we immediately started looking for another attorney and found Brad Vinson, with Smith and Vinson. Simply put, Brad had this entire debacle reversed and a new judgement set for what is customarily ruled in similar cases. It didn't take long either. I only wish we had called Brad first. He's a real lawyer!”
