What is a Texas DWI?

At the bare minimum, a first-time DWI offense is a Class B misdemeanor. Under Chapter 49 of the Texas Penal Code, it is illegal to operate a vehicle with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .08 percent or higher. For drivers of commercial vehicles, the legal limit is lowered to .04 percent. An underage driver (defined by Texas law as anyone under 21) can be charged with Driving with Intoxicated or Driving under the Influence for any amount of detectable alcohol.

Citizens may be charged with DWI even if they’re BAC is alleged to be under the legal limit, as intoxication may also be alleged based on an operator of a vehicle having lost “the normal use” of their mental and/or physical faculties to safely operate a vehicle due to some form of intoxicant. It need not even be alcohol, as people operating a vehicle may accused of being “intoxicated” due to marijuana, prescription drugs, controlled substances, and even over the counter medications!
