A:
No you cannot… Based on the above Fax alone, you may travel as you please so long as you possess a United States passport.
Furthermore, if your 2007 DWI was aggravated, a repeat offense or for any other reason a felony as opposed to a misdemeanor, now that it is been 10 years you may move to strike the felony from your record and become (re-enfranchised).
That said, basically, that unless some consequence, like the inability to obtain a passport, stems from the aforementioned felony conviction, you will have absolutely no problem traveling whatever you want so long as said place recognizes a United States passport.
Although in all likelihood your DWI was a misdemeanor, and as such you have no issue at all, if it was a felony and you would like to explore the idea of getting it expunged from your record you may contact me, or any other attorney who practices this field of law.
Truly Yours,
Enjoy Your Vacation!
