Consequences of a DWI Conviction in Round Rock, Texas
If convicted of drunk or drugged driving in Round Rock, Texas, or other areas of Williamson or Travis counties, the judge will consider several factors to determine sentencing. This may include:
- Your previous history of DWI-related offenses
- Your previous criminal history
- The circumstances of your case
- Their own discretion
For first-time offenders, penalties could include:
- Enrollment in an Alcohol Education Program
- Jail time
- A driver’s license suspension of up to two years
- Fines
For a second, third, fourth, or subsequent conviction, jail time, license suspension, and fines may increase.
Probation
If this is your first DWI conviction, we may be able to help you fight for probation instead of jail time. The judge in your case may offer you this type of agreement which can help you avoid some of the penalties included in your sentence.
In general, probation is an agreement that says you will follow specific rules for a set time. These rules may include:
- Completing community service
- Abstaining from drugs and/or alcohol
- Not getting arrested for any other crimes
- Checking in regularly with an assigned probation officer
If you complete probation, you can avoid serving jail time. If you violate the terms of your probation, however, the judge can force you to go to jail or complete other parts of your sentence.
Administrative Penalties Following a DWI Arrest
In addition to the criminal penalties you will face if convicted of a Round Rock, TX, DWI, you will also face administrative penalties if police cite you for drunk or drugged driving. Any time police cite you for a DWI, you receive an Administrative License Revocation (ALR). This penalty is separate from your criminal case.
You may request a hearing during the first 15 days following your arrest to fight the ALR. We can help you with this process and represent you during the hearing.
