help - feedback - sponsor this guide

The search term "Austin DWI" is a surprisingly ambiguous reference to the crime of "Driving While Intoxicated" (abbreviated DWI) in the city of Austin, Texas. The primary reason for the ambiguity in this search term is the fact that in addition to being the name of a city in the state of Texas, Austin is also the name of a city in the state of Minnesota. Under Texas state law, which is codified at Section 49.04 of the Texas Penal Code, a first offense for DWI is a "Class B Misdemeanor," punishable by a fine not to exceed $2,000.00, confinement in the county jail for a term of not less than 72 hours nor more than six months, and community service of not less than 24 hours nor more than 100 hours. A second offense is a "Class A misdemeanor," punishable by a fine not to exceed $4,000.00, confinement in the county jail for a term of not less than 72 hours nor more than one year, and community service of not less than 80 hours nor more than 200 hours. A third offense is a "Third Degree Felony," punishable by a fine not to exceed $10,000.00, confinement in the state penitentiary for a term of not less than two years nor more than ten years, and community service of not less than 160 hours nor more than 600 hours. In addition to and/or in lieu of fines, incarceration, and community service, a person convicted of DWI in Texas may have their driving privilege suspended and have other terms of probation imposed.
