Driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs is a serious offense in Texas. If you are pulled over by a police officer, asked to take a breathalyzer or field sobriety test, and arrested for driving while intoxicated (DWI), you will want to understand the types of criminal charges you may face, the potential consequences of a conviction, and whether you will lose your driver’s license.
