When Is DWI a Misdemeanor?
Driving while intoxicated is considered a misdemeanor offense when it is the individual’s first or second drunk driving offense. The first offense is considered a Class B misdemeanor, while the second offense is considered a Class A misdemeanor.
Both crimes may land the convicted individual in county jail. Additionally, the individual will be put on probation and will have to pay fines.
If you have been accused of drunk driving, you need legal defense no matter how many prior convictions you have. Contact the San Antonio drunk driving defense lawyers of the Law Offices of Chris S. Barnett at 210-587-6464 for more information.
