Texas DWI Laws and Round Rock Cases

Texas DWI law is codified in Penal Code Chapter 49. Section 49.04 defines the offense as operating a motor vehicle in a public place while intoxicated. Intoxicated has two definitions under Texas law. First, a BAC of 0.08 or more. Second, not having normal use of mental or physical faculties due to alcohol or drugs. Either standard can support a DWI charge. Officers may arrest based on observed impairment regardless of breath test results.

First offense DWI is a Class B misdemeanor. Jail time runs from 72 hours to 180 days, and the fine can reach $2,000. An open container raises the minimum to six days. A BAC of 0.15 or more bumps the charge to Class A, meaning up to one year in jail and a $4,000 fine. On top of court-ordered fines, Texas adds state surcharges at sentencing. Those run $3,000 for a first DWI and up to $6,000 for a third offense.

A second DWI is a Class A misdemeanor with a 30-day mandatory jail minimum. Under Section 49.09, a third DWI is a third-degree felony carrying two to ten years in prison. DWI with a child under 15 in the vehicle is a state jail felony under Section 49.045. That carries 180 days to two years regardless of prior history. Intoxication assault and intoxication manslaughter are felonies filed through the Williamson County District Clerk.

Drivers under 21 face the zero tolerance law under Alcoholic Beverage Code Section 106.041. Any detectable alcohol is enough for a DUI charge. First offense is a Class C misdemeanor with a fine up to $500. The suspension for a first offense under the minor DUI law is 30 days.

ALR and License Suspension After a Round Rock DWI

A DWI arrest in Round Rock starts two processes at once. The criminal case moves through Williamson County court. The Administrative License Revocation process runs through the Texas DPS. These are independent of each other. A dismissal or acquittal in Williamson County court does not prevent DPS from suspending the license through the ALR program.

After the arrest, the officer takes the driver's license and issues a Notice of Suspension. That notice works as a 40-day temporary driving permit. The driver has 15 days to request an ALR hearing with the State Office of Administrative Hearings. Miss that deadline and the suspension goes into effect on day 40. Under Transportation Code Chapter 524, a failed chemical test leads to 90 days of suspension for a first offense. Refusing the test brings a 180-day suspension. Prior suspensions or refusals within 10 years mean two-year periods on subsequent arrests.

After the suspension ends, a $125 reinstatement fee must go to DPS before the license is restored. You can check license status and order your full driving record at dps.texas.gov. Online records cost $4 to $22 depending on type.
