Houston Multiple DWI Attorney
Defending Repeat DWI Offenses in Houston
Multiple DWI offenses are the most challenging types of DWI cases for prosecutors and law enforcement to handle because exceptionally strong evidence is required.
However, this does not mean that arguing these types of cases is futile if you have been arrested for a repeat offense, a variety of focused and effective strategies can work to protect your rights and maintain your freedom.
DWI lawyer Jed Silverman understands that every detail matters in these cases, and our firm knows just what law enforcement must do to fortify their cases. By challenging these and bringing into question the legality of any arrests, we can, in many situations, reach positive resolutions.
Keep in mind that the strategy that will be most effective depends on the circumstances involved in your case. Our firm will also fight against any licensing issues you now face with the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Our lawyer has extensive experience representing hundreds of repeat offenders and has been able to prove his mettle in countless DWI defense cases in front of both judges and juries, Jed Silverman knows what it takes to get DWI charges dropped or reduced to a more favorable outcome.

Consequences of Multiple DWI Convictions
Penalties for multiple DWI surpass typical sentences for first-time offenders. It all depends upon how many previous DWI convictions are on the defendant's record and when these previous convictions occurred, but you can expect steep punishments regardless.
While many third and subsequent DWI convictions in Texas are considered felonies, all second or more DWI arrests are tried as Texas misdemeanors.
Penalties for a multiple DWI conviction in Texas may include:
- Extended jail time
- Hefty driver's license surcharges
- Requirement to attend mandatory substance abuse programs
- Deep fines
- Possible seizure and confiscation of your vehicle
- Mandatory installation and monthly monitoring of an ignition interlock device
- Probationary sentences
- Serious assault charges or vehicular manslaughter charges for accidents
- Permanent or long-lasting job loss
Enhanced penalties can be much more severe than you would expect. It is not unheard of for a drunk driver who injured no one and caused no automobile accident fatality to face several decades altogether in jail and/or decades-long driving privilege suspension.
