DWI Laws in Texas

If you are stopped while driving and you test above the legal limit for blood alcohol content (BAC), you may be charged with driving while intoxicated. In most cases, the legal limit in the state of Texas is one to two drinks. Factors such as height, weight, and whether or not you had something to eat will affect your BAC.

Penalties for a 1st DWI in Texas may include:

  • Jail time
  • Steep fines
  • Driver's license suspension
  • Increased auto insurance rates
  • A mark on your criminal record
  • Possible limits on educational and professional opportunities

Can I Refuse to Take a BAC Test?

If the law enforcement officer who pulls you over suspects that you have been drinking, he or she will typically ask that you perform a chemical test. This test will require a sample of your blood, urine, or breath. In the state of Texas, drivers are subject to what is known as an "implied consent law," which can be found in section 724.011 of the Texas Transportation Code. This law states that anyone who accepts the privilege of operating a motor vehicle in the state has effectively given their 'implied consent" to submit to a chemical test at the request of a law enforcement official for the purpose of determining their sobriety.
