Williamson County is known for taking DWI enforcement seriously. A DWI arrest in Georgetown can mean automatic license suspension, mandatory surcharges, ignition interlock requirements, and a permanent criminal record that follows you for the rest of your life. At Georgetown Law Firm, we represent drivers facing DWI charges in Williamson County District and County Courts at Law and in administrative license proceedings before the Texas Department of Public Safety.
Understanding Texas DWI Law
Texas DWI offenses are governed by Chapter 49 of the Texas Penal Code. The offense applies when a driver operates a motor vehicle in a public place while intoxicated — defined as either lacking the normal use of mental or physical faculties due to alcohol or drugs, or having a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08 or higher. Each element is open to challenge, and the strongest defenses come from a careful review of the stop, the testing, and the arrest.
DWI Cases We Handle
Our defense practice covers every type of impaired-driving allegation, including:
- First-offense DWI under Section 49.04
- Second, third, and felony repeat-offense DWI
- DWI with a child passenger under Section 49.045
- Intoxication assault and intoxication manslaughter
- DWI involving drugs, including marijuana and prescription medications
- Underage DWI and zero-tolerance violations
- Refusal of breath or blood testing
- Administrative License Revocation (ALR) hearings
- Occupational driver’s license applications
- Boating While Intoxicated (BWI) cases
- Out-of-state drivers facing Texas DWI charges
Each case turns on the specific facts of the stop, the officer’s observations, and how the evidence was gathered.
How Georgetown Law Firm Can Help
We challenge the legality of the initial traffic stop, attack improperly administered field sobriety tests, scrutinize breath and blood test procedures, and identify medical and other factors that can mimic signs of impairment. We also handle the parallel ALR license suspension hearing, because winning the criminal case but losing your license is not really winning.
