Bryan DWI Child Endangerment Attorney

What Happens if I Get a DWI with a Child in the Vehicle?

Getting DWI conviction in Texas is already associated with harsh penalties, such as jail time and fines. However, if you get arrested for DWI child passenger in your vehicle, you may face increased punishment. This crime will be prosecuted as a state jail felony. You can expect to face between 180 days and two years locked up in a state jail facility, with additional fines and penalties that we discuss below.

Being “under the influence” in this context is to have a blood alcohol content (BAC) level of 0.08% or above. That is because this level of intoxication can result in the loss of control of one's mental or physical faculties.
