The state of Texas imposes strict legal penalties when it convicts someone of intoxication manslaughter. Whether or not you were proven to be intoxicated at the time of a fatal accident, your freedom, reputation, and much more are still at risk.
Everyone facing criminal charges in Texas deserves an advocate. You should seek a lawyer who will craft a strong defense on your behalf. An Arlington intoxication manslaughter lawyer from the Law Offices of Randall B. Isenberg will seek the most favorable outcome possible in your case.
What Is at Stake in an Arlington Intoxication Manslaughter Case?
Texas Penal Code Sec. 49.08 explains that a charge of intoxication manslaughter is, in most cases, a second-degree felony. A second-degree felony conviction in Arlington may come with penalties of:
- Between 2 and 20 years in prison
- A fine of up to $10,000
The legal penalties from an intoxication manslaughter conviction don’t capture the entire cost of conviction. Between having to go to prison, facing a substantial fine, and having a felony on your record, you may also:
- Lose custody of children: A conviction for intoxication manslaughter can be used against you. If you have children, you may lose custody of those children now or in the future, as family courts may hold your felony conviction against you.
- Lose your current career: There are many careers in which an intoxication manslaughter conviction could prevent you from working. From white-collar jobs to other types of employment, a conviction could spell the end of your current line of work.
- Have difficulty finding gainful employment in the future: You may face a more limited pool of job prospects if you are convicted of intoxication manslaughter.
- Face immense financial hardship: Between the potential of a court-ordered fine and the professional consequences of a conviction, you could face immense financial pressure if convicted.
- Experience psychological and emotional problems: The effects of a conviction can take a psychological and emotional toll. The circumstances that have led to your charges may be stressful in their own right. Your well-being will likely only worsen if you are forced to go to prison, pay fines, and suffer the other consequences of a conviction.
Weigh all of these consequences carefully. The fallout from an intoxication manslaughter conviction ranges well beyond your sentence—it will affect virtually every aspect of your life.
