A DWI (Driving While Intoxicated) charge is anything but a serious offense that needs to be avoided. If not, it can lead to a criminal conviction and the possibility of a suspended driving license. There is also penalties or fines you need to pay for committing such offense. An individual charged with a DWI conviction will have dire implications not only in his/her personal life but on their insurance rates as well.
During September and October 2016, Houston police arrested 82 drivers on felony alcohol charges. Specific charges ranged from driving while intoxicated with a child in the vehicle to intoxication manslaughter. Some of the suspects had two or more prior arrests on similar charges. Driving while intoxicated is typically a misdemeanor on the first two offenses.
While most of the felony cases in the two-month period were the result of a third DWI charge, 14 people were arrested on a charge of DWI with a child present, while five people were arrested on charges of intoxication manslaughter.
