Your Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) is your livelihood. Without it, you cannot drive a commercial vehicle in the state of Texas. A commercial Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) charge can cause you to lose your CDL and keep you from driving professionally for life.
Don’t let a commercial DWI ruin your career. A Plano commercial DWI lawyer may be able to fight to help you keep your commercial driver’s license.
If you have been arrested and charged with a DWI and are considering legal representation, contact the Law Offices of Randall B. Isenberg. Our legal team handles all types of commercial DWI cases. We can review your case, discuss your options, and may be able to petition the court on your behalf to drop the case or reduce your charges.
Commercial DWIs in Texas
In Texas, you can get arrested and charged with DWI if you have been operating a commercial vehicle while driving drunk. A first-time offense is a class B misdemeanor and is punishable in the following ways:
- Up to 180 days in jail
- A maximum fine of up to $2,000
- CDL suspension up to one year
- CDL suspension up to three years (transporting hazardous materials)
- Mandatory alcohol addiction treatment
- Community services
The legal limit for a normal DWI is 0.08% blood alcohol concentration (BAC). However, if you are a commercial driver, you can be charged for a DWI with a BAC of just 0.04% or above. The BAC standard set by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) applies in all 50 states, including Texas.
We Defend Clients Against DWI Charges
When you are charged with a DWI, you may feel that there is no hope for your case. As a career driver, it can be difficult to face the possibility of losing your commercial driver license. However, you may have options.
Our Plano commercial DWI lawyers can explore different strategies for defending you in court. These may include:
Challenging the Charges Against You
We can investigate the charges to see if there was a lack of reasonable suspicion, lack of probable cause for arrest, or lack of evidence to convict you. We can review all the facts of the case and attempt to establish your innocence and free you from all charges.
Plea Bargain
If you decide to plead “guilty” or “no contest” to the charges against you, we may be able to work with the prosecution to arrange a plea bargain. The prosecution may be willing to drop the charges or reduce your sentence to reckless driving or public intoxication.
Request a Dismissal of All Charges
If you are arrested for a DWI, it is important that law enforcement handle your arrest properly. If you were improperly arrested, BAC tested, or handled unfairly, then we may be able to request to have your charges dismissed.
You do not need to face the courts or potentially lengthy jail time alone. The Law Offices of Randall B. Isenberg offers a free case assessment with our Plano DWI team. Call us at (214) 696-9253 to get started.
