A Former Client Explains How Our Firm Helped with Their DWI Defense
To help you understand why so many clients hire our firm for their DWI defenses, consider this firsthand account:
- “My husband was taken to jail after a field sobriety test, and I had to get an Uber with threats of being arrested myself. After I bailed him out, we asked around about the best DWI attorneys in Dallas, and Randall’s name kept coming up. So we went with him. He committed the arresting officer to giving his version of the arrest, and it didn’t match the evidence and couldn’t stand up in court. We were so relieved to have the case thrown out and to put it all behind us. And we’re happy to leave a good review.” – Sarah

What Is at Stake When Facing a Commercial DWI Conviction in Colleyville, TX?
Motorists driving a commercial vehicle have a lower threshold for a DWI conviction. If you have a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .04% or greater, you may face a DWI charge as the driver of a commercial vehicle. You may also face this charge if you are suspected of being under the influence of illicit drugs.
Despite having a lower limit for a DWI charge, commercial drivers face the same legal penalties as others charged with DWI. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) lists the penalties for a DWI conviction, which include:
- For a first-time DWI conviction: Between 3 and 180 days in jail, a fine of up to $2,000
- For a second-time DWI conviction: Between 1 month and 1 year in jail, a fine of up to $4,000
- For a third-time DWI conviction: Between 2 and 10 years in prison, a fine of up to $10,000
The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) adds that you will lose your commercial driver’s license (CDL) for at least a year. If you have prior disqualifications on your record, a DWI may cause you to lose your CDL for life. You may also face sanctions related to your personal driver’s license, including suspension.
Non-Legal Consequences of a Commercial DWI Conviction in Colleyville, TX
In addition to the legal penalties that come with a DWI conviction in Texas, a conviction may cause:
- The loss of your current job
- The loss of any careers that require a CDL
- Financial hardship, especially if you use your CDL to earn a living
- Other personal, professional, and financial problems
The fallout from a DWI conviction can compound, as the loss of your job can cause financial stress, which can cause psychological problems, which can significantly diminish your quality of life.
