Q: Sister got her first dwi on 11/4/17, a second on 11/7/17 and now a third on 8/7/17. All are pending. Will 3rd be felony?
A coworker's brother is a county DA. He said if all are pending at time of offense, they all should be treated liked 1st offense. She needs help. We are asking lawyer to pursue plea deal so that she can get into the year long substance abuse program but are hoping she can avoid felony.

A:
You did not identify the location, so I will have you start with one of Texas's top DWI lawyers and book author, Troy McKinney. He can guide you on the "package" deal you are seeking. Any special dispensation is more a matter of GRACE than legal rights, so get a specialist to help you.
