Yes DUI/DWI is a crime in Texas.
This isn't really a question.. But to guess at where you were going.. The BAC required to be "intoxicated" varies state to state. In Texas, the BAC for driving while intoxicated (DWI) (AKA DUI in many other states) is .08. If you are stopped by a police officer and your BAC is at .08 or higher, in Texas you are guilty of DWI. Conversely, BAC isn't the only way you can be arrested for DWI, because per Texas Penal Code "intoxication" is defined as the loss of normal mental or physical faculties due to the introduction of DRUGS and/or alcohol into ones system. The Standardized Field Sobriety Tests are the standard used nationwide per NHSTA to determine if one is intoxicated, PBTs are just a field tool officer's use and are not admissable in court proceedings.
Any second DWI conviction is a felony in Texas. A first DWI is a felony if there is a person 15 years or younger in the car, otherwise the first DWI is a misdemeanor.
