Answers to All Your Questions About DWI / DUI in Texas
What Constitutes DWI / DUI in Texas?
Driving while intoxicated (DWI), or sometimes called driving under the influence (DUI), is a criminal offense that could lead to jail time, fines, and years of license suspension. In Texas, you may be charged with DWI if you operate a motor vehicle while:
- with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08% or more (“per se” DWI); or
- intoxicated by drugs or alcohol to such an extent that you lack the normal use of your mental or physical faculties due to the substances.
Note that drivers younger than 21 years old are subject to Texas’ “zero tolerance” laws that make it illegal for underage individuals to operate a motor vehicle with any amount of alcohol in their system.
While most DWIs conventionally involve driving on the road, be aware that an officer can charge you with a DWI even if you haven’t begun driving yet. In other words, merely operating a vehicle (e.g., getting behind the wheel with the engine on) is grounds enough for a DWI charge.
