Facing a DWI Charge in Belton? We’re Here to Help.
You’re not alone. Driving while intoxicated is one of the most common crimes in the Belton area.
Driving while intoxicated means that you were operating a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol level of .08 or above. Unfortunately, the government of Texas and the Bell County court system do not look favorably upon DWI violators.
Thankfully, Michael & Associates are experts when it comes to DWI charges.
A DWI Can Cost You More Than You Might Think
Despite how common it is, DWI is taken very seriously in Belton and the penalties can be steep.
For a first offense:
- Up to a $2,000 fine
- Between 3 and 180 days in jail
- Loss of driver’s license for up to a year
For a second offense:
- Up to a $4,000 fine
- Between 1 and 12 months in jail
- Loss of driver’s license for up to two years
For three or more offenses:
- Up to a $10,000 fine
- Between 2 and 10 years in prison
- Loss of driver’s license for up to two years
- A felony on your record
And that doesn’t even include various additional charges you may experience, such as driving with a child onboard.
Don’t Let One Mistake Determine Your Future
In addition to the criminal penalties already listed, a DWI can make it tougher to find a job, raise your insurance rates, and cause emotional and financial hardship for you and your family.
You owe it to your future to get the best defense possible. That means hiring a competent, experienced attorney who will not only give your case the attention it deserves, but who knows the laws around DWIs like the back of their hand.
