It depends on what county you are in. There is always a chance you can get probation. Retain a lawyer to assist . If you have a drinking problem start going to AA.

If it is a true 3rd DWI, then your chances would normally be pretty good to get probation across Texas. This is assuming there were no extenuating circumstances like evading, threatening the officer, involvement in a crash, etc.
The prior evading adds many variables. If you went to prison... Read more »

Any arrest could impact your immigration I would not ride in the car with him under this set of facts,

There's almost always an opportunity to avoid jail, especially with your last DWI being 20 years ago. That said, you'll need a DWI lawyer to give yourself the best chance. It's impossible to give a complete answer without knowing all the facts of the case and your past, but... Read more »

I'm confused. Who is the "he" you are referring to? The driver of the vehicle who hit your mother? Regarding any delay, the pandemic has created a huge backlog in virtually all courts. If your mother was the victim of this crime, I suggest contacting the DA assigned to the case.... Read more »

Can i get reinstated or go straigh to prison
answered on Oct 8, 2022
There is a process to get your probation revoked. The State has to file a Motion to Revoke, and you are entitled to a hearing on the Motion. The court can do many things at that hearing: Revoke you and give you jail time, give you a short jail term like 6 months, then reinstate your probation, and... Read more »

I am being charged with a third degree felony DWI.
With my first two charges I was only convicted of one. Can they convict me of a felony even though I only have one CONVICTION on my record?
answered on Jun 16, 2022
If no special aggravating circumstances are being alleged (for example, that someone was seriously injured in an accident resulting from your alleged DWI), and you are charged with regular DWI, then the State needs to prove that you have two prior CONVICTIONS. You can be charged with third-degree... Read more »
I am being charged with a 3rd degree felony. It is the third time I have been stopped for a DWI. With the first two I was only convicted for one. Is there a chance that the felony can be reduced back to a Misdemeanor during trial?
