Felony DWI Fierce Representation Paired with Passionate Service

Felony DWI Defense in Brazoria County

Understanding What Makes a DWI a Felony

Is a DWI a felony? It depends. In most cases, a DWI is considered to be a misdemeanor offense in the state of Texas—but not always. In fact, there are several situations and factors that can cause a felony to be elevated to a felony offense, which results in exponentially harsher penalties and longer-lasting consequences for the defendant.

Just some of the examples of felony DWI cases include the following:

  • Third DWI Charge: Where a defendant is convicted of his or her third DWI.
  • DWI with Child Passenger: Where a defendant is found to be drinking and driving with a child who is younger than 15 years of age in the car with him or her. This is considered to be a state jail felony.
  • Intoxication Assault: Where a defendant causes serious bodily injury while drunk driving; in Texas, an injury is classified as a "serious bodily injury" when it has the significant risk of death, causes serious or permanent disfigurement, or damages a body part of an organ. This is a third-degree felony.
  • Intoxication Manslaughter: Where a defendant kills another human being while drunk driving. This is considered to be a second-degree felony in the state of Texas.

    "Phenomenal Lawyers!"
    I cannot stress enough how highly I recommend this law firm. Recently, I found myself in a challenging situation with a DWI and unlawfully carrying weapon case. However, with the expertise and support of Kristina King, I was able to prove my innocence and have the cases dismissed. During the entire process, Kristina was an exceptional guide. She provided me with invaluable assistance, was incredibly informative, and showcased her extensive knowledge in the field. I genuinely cannot thank her enough for all her hard work. Even though most of my interaction was with Kristina, I must say, Steve and Kristina make an excellent team. I can confidently say that Steve and his associates are highly regarded as the best lawyers. I feel truly fortunate to have had such an amazing team on my side, and I will forever be grateful to the law office of Steve O. Gonzalez. Thank you!
