Updated: 10/21/2022

A first DWI is a class B misdemeanor punishable by up to $2000 fine and 72 hours to six months jail, which can be probated. A DWI is operating a motor vehicle on a public road while intoxicated (not having normal use of mental OR physical faculties OR BAC of .08 or higher due to alcohol, drug, or a combination).

There are collateral consequences involving your driver's license and insurance as well.

A second DWI is a class A misdemeanor, and a third or greater is a felony.

Deferred adjudication is not available for any type of DWI, and any probation requires conditions involving drug or alcohol evaluations and DWI specific treatment.
