The consequences of DWI are serious in terms of what it does to your family and career. It is possible that you’ve been charged with DWI and not sure what to do next. Truth be told, the DWI process is not as complicated as what most people think. But, it is important that you know what to expect, so you can protect yourself.
An example of this happened on August 9, 2016, when a Spring man is accused of driving while intoxicated while his son fell out of a vehicle. During the time of the incident, a bystander saw a small child fall from the front passenger seat of a moving car.
The driver got out, put the child back in the seat, then drove away with the door still open, authorities said.
Deputies later found the car and the driver. His two children also were in the car. The child who fell from the car was taken to the hospital. The other child in the car wasn’t hurt, authorities said.
The man was taken into custody and the police filed charges against him for injury to a child, driving while intoxicated and endangering a child. He has three prior DWI convictions according to the officials.
This is just one of the many stories involving DWI. Take note, the DWI process typically involves an administrative hearing where you’ve 15 days to schedule it starting from the day they arrested you. If you fail to do, the law enforcement will suspend your driving license. You will also face a criminal case and the court will determine the bail. And, you will also have to attend a pre-trial appearance and a trial as well.
During the pre-trial, all evidence against is subject to review. This is where plea-bargaining takes place and having a competent, experienced good defense attorney will help you deal with your case.
A charged with DWI can have a huge impact on your life. A permanent criminal record can badly affect your career, personal relationships, finances, and family. And by no means, you want this to happen. So, when you are charged with a DWI, call a reputable DWI attorney immediately.

DWI is a serious offense. If not defended properly, it will lead to a more serious and even life imprisonment. Below are some of the many examples of an incident where drivers were found to be intoxicated while driving.
- Two 23-year-old men were arrested May 15 for an alleged evading arrest and public intoxication. A deputy was dispatched to a welfare check in a parkway. Upon arrival, the two men saw the deputy and allegedly began to run from him into a wooded area. Eventually, the two men were apprehended.
- A 23-year-old Houston woman was arrested May 13 for alleged drug possession. A deputy was dispatched to an area on the Waterway for a suspicious person call. Upon arrival, the deputy made contact with the person inside of the vehicle. An odor of marijuana was allegedly emitted from the vehicle. Marijuana was then allegedly located inside the vehicle.
- A 20-year-old Spring man was arrested May 14 for an alleged burglary of a motor vehicle. A deputy was dispatched to the 100 blocks of Maple Street in reference to an assault in progress call. Upon arrival, the deputy met with the complainant and the Spring man. The call was changed from an assault to a burglary of a motor vehicle call, as the complainant allegedly caught the man inside of his vehicle and had taken items that did not belong to him.
DWIs By State
In 2015, California had the highest number of DWI arrests. The state reported 214,828 arrests. The lowest DWI arrest rate is in Delaware. It’s not surprising as Delaware has one the lowest populations in the United States. In contrast, California is the most populated state in the country. There isn’t any clear reason for this inconsistency. Many states, in an attempt to lower DWI arrests, are now relentlessly focusing their anti-drunk driving campaigns to specific demographics.

Despite numerous public campaigns against the dangers of driving while drunk, every year thousands of people are still getting arrested and penalized with prison sentences and heavy fines for DWI Conviction. If you’ve been drinking at a party or celebrating, it’s a bad idea to drive if you’ve had a drink or two. Drunk drivers cause serious and fatal accidents. The numbers are frightening than you might think.
When you’re charged with DWI, hiring a reliable defense attorney is your best option. This is what a certain man in Dallas failed to do so when he was arrested on August 15, 2015, when he was convicted of killing a woman in an Aug. 5, 2015, drunk-driving accident.
The woman was a passenger in the driver’s work van on Aug. 5 as they traveled through a flashing-light intersection. The van was struck in the passenger side by a Toyota Tundra, and the woman was killed instantly.
The defense attorney failed to independently verify the blood alcohol evidence, failed to hire experts to challenge the evidence and failed to interview witnesses to the accident.
During the hearing, the case was made more challenging because the defendant refused to release him from their attorney-client privilege, which meant his responses were limited to how he defended his client and lacking details from discussions they had that might have influenced their defense strategy.
One of the most problematic areas in the defense of the driver was the defendant’s own testimony during trial where jurors were presented evidence that showed the driver’s blood-alcohol level, two hours after his arrest, was 0.166, more than twice the legal limit of 0.08, and learned that he had attempted to drive his vehicle, which was equipped with a blood alcohol integrity device, under the influence of alcohol while out on bond.
As a result, the driver charged with DWI was disciplined by the court.

DWI charges excuse no one. And when you’re charged with it, contacting a defense attorney is your best and only option.
In Dallas, numerous DWI charges have been reported weekly. On May 9, 1 51- year old man was arrested and charged. A deputy was sent to a location in reference to a disturbance between a father and son. The deputy met with the son who had a laceration on his hand and a contusion on his arm caused by the father allegedly cutting him with a knife and hitting him with a bat. Aside from this, the man was also reported driving while under the influence of alcohol.
In another case, a 45-year old man was arrested on May 11 for alleged public intoxication. A deputy was dispatched to a welfare concern in the place involving an allegedly intoxicated male. The deputy located the male and detained him.
This is just two of the numerous examples of what will happen when arrested for DWI.
Drunk Driving Accidents
In 2016, more than 10,000 people were killed by drunk drivers. The victims were the people who were passengers of the drunk driver, and to those who were in other vehicles and pedestrians. So, it is definitely a poor decision on your side to operate a vehicle when drunk.
Average Age of Drunk Drivers
Most of the drunk drivers fall in the age range of 18 and 24 years. In fact, this demographic constitutes over 25 percent of all DWI arrests. This population also happens to be largest repeat offenders by far. Many states are working in amending their DWI laws. For instance, Washington State is making DWI into a felony if the same person is detained for DWI Conviction for more than two times. Some states are taking it even further. They want any DWI a felony offense.
Types of Alcohol Involved In DWI Conviction and Arrests
Over half of arrested for DWI were found to be drinking beer. 20 percent admitted to consuming more than one type of alcohol before getting behind the wheel. People can get intoxicated rather quickly if their drinks contain more than one type of alcohol.

Las familias de dos jóvenes de 16 años que murieron el mes pasado en un supuesto accidente por DWI presentaron una demanda de $1 millón el 28 de agosto contra un conductor adolescente y el trabajador de la gasolinera acusados por sus muertes.
Alma y Francisco Gómez presentaron la demanda contra la familia de Clayton Jaggar Smith y el empleado de Humble Handi Stop, Gumaro Muñoz Campos, el mismo día en que Tina y Nico Robinson presentaron una demanda contra el tutor de Smith, Shelly Smith y Campos. Mientras que Smith ha sido acusado de homicidio involuntario por DWI, Muñoz está acusado de un cargo de venta de alcohol a un menor, un delito menor, por la oficina del Fiscal del Distrito del Condado de Harris.
Al igual que la familia Robinson, la familia Gómez está demandando a Campos, a la familia Smith y a la gasolinera por pérdidas pecantinas pasadas y futuras, pérdidas pasadas y futuras de la compañía y sociedad, angustias mentales pasadas y futuras y la pérdida de la herencia.
Según la demanda de la familia Robinson, el 24 de julio a las 10:45 p.m. Smith entró a la gasolinera Handi Stop y compró cuatro botellas de Mad-Dog 20/20 a Campos, que era el único empleado de la tienda de servicio. Campos no pudo verificar la edad de Smith al no solicitar una identificación válida, de acuerdo con la demanda. Smith pudo comprar el alcohol sin mostrar ninguna identificación y salió de la tienda.
En la siguiente hora, el adolescente se puso a manejar su Nissan Altima, donde Chloe Robinson estaba sentada en el asiento trasero y Salma Gómez estaba sentada en el asiento del pasajero delantero. Smith también conducía el doble del límite de velocidad, según los investigadores. Robinson y Gómez murieron luego del accidente.
Robert Barrington, abogado de la firma de abogados, representa a la familia Gómez. Barrington dijo que las muertes de Salma y Chloe eran prevenibles. “El menor conducía el vehículo y, por lo tanto, tiene que presentar una demanda contra los Smith”, dijo Barrington.
El oficial de información pública de TABC, Chris Porter, dijo que la gasolinera recibió una violación el 26 de julio de 2012 por $2,400 por vender alcohol a un menor que luego fue pagada en septiembre de ese año. Porter dijo que el TABC todavía está investigando el asunto.
