DWI/Alcohol Charges FAQs - Odessa, Texas
Common questions about dwi/alcohol charges in Texas answered by our experienced attorneys.
Is a DWI a felony in Texas?
A first or second DWI is a misdemeanor. It becomes a felony on the third offense, with a child under 15 in the car (even a first offense), or when someone is seriously injured (intoxication assault) or killed (intoxication manslaughter).
Will I lose my license after a DWI arrest?
Automatically — unless you request an ALR hearing within 15 days of arrest. That deadline is the single most urgent thing after a DWI. Suspensions run 90 days to 2 years; occupational licenses can keep you driving to work.
Should I have refused the breath test?
Refusal triggers a longer license suspension (180 days first refusal) and officers now routinely get blood warrants anyway. Refusal cases remain very defensible — the warrant, the draw, and the lab all have to be done right.
Can a DWI be dismissed or sealed in Texas?
Yes. Bad stops, flawed field sobriety testing, and breath/blood problems get cases reduced or dismissed. A first DWI resolved by deferred adjudication may later qualify for nondisclosure (sealing) if statutory conditions are met.
What does a DWI lawyer cost in Odessa?
First-offense misdemeanor DWIs typically run $2,500–$7,500 flat in the Permian Basin, felony DWIs more. Compare that to the cost of a conviction: surcharges, insurance, license loss, CDL and oilfield job consequences. Consultations are available by phone, video, or in person.
