DWI Conviction

A Hefty Surcharge Applies to Your Driver’s License

Secondly, if convicted of Driving While Intoxicated (DWI), you could be ordered to pay substantial fines, court costs, and probation fees as well as having your driver’s license suspended for up to two (2) years (in addition to the ALR suspension!). In addition, you will be subjected to an annual administrative surcharge fee of a $1,000.00 a year for three (3) years just to keep your driver’s license valid. My first piece of advice is to call us immediately for a consultation with an experienced Texas DWI lawyer. There are many reasons to seek competent representation from an experienced DWI lawyer. An effective successful Texas DWI lawyer will raise key defenses in a timely fashion, thereby preserving evidence, your memory of the arrest and ensuring witness availability. A winnable case can easily be lost if memories are allowed to fade and witnesses become unaccessible.
