What’s at Stake in Your Case

A conviction or school finding can follow you long after your case ends. Under Texas law, penalties include:

• First DWI: up to 180 days in jail and a $2,000 fine
• Class A misdemeanor: up to 1 year in jail and a $4,000 fine
• State jail felony: 180 days to 2 years and up to $10,000
• Third-degree felony: 2 to 10 years in prison
• Second-degree felony: 2 to 20 years in prison
• First-degree felony: 5 to 99 years or life
• DWI: driver’s license suspension
• Title IX: suspension, expulsion, or lost scholarships

Prior convictions, a deadly weapon, or a drug-free zone can increase these ranges.

A record can also cost you jobs, housing, professional licenses, and firearm rights. Don’t wait. Contact Shane Phelps Law today for your free consultation.
