Three or More DWI Offenses in Texas
In the state of Texas, successive DWI convictions incur ever-greater penalties. First offenses carry relatively light penalties, while the punishments for second offenses are somewhat greater. For third offenses and beyond, the consequences can be very severe indeed.

Penalties for a Third DWI Conviction or Greater
The Texas court system punishes repeat drunk driving offenders very harshly. If convicted, you may face debilitating fines and a very long time in jail, in addition to other penalties. The law stipulates the following consequences for three or more convictions:
- Up to 10,000 dollars in fines
- Up to 10 years in prison
- Mandatory devices to monitor your blood alcohol content
- Mandatory alcohol rehabilitation
A third conviction can derail your life and drain your finances. Fortunately, you have every right to defend yourself in court and seek to have the charges dropped or the sentences reduced. If you have faced previous DWI charges, you know how important it is to have a committed lawyer on your side. Call the Law Offices of Chris S. Barnett as soon as possible to find out if we can help you with your case.
