Navarro County DWI Charges and Penalties

Navarro County follows all state DWI statutes. The core offense is in Penal Code Section 49.04. A driver is legally intoxicated at 0.08 BAC or above, but prosecutors can also charge on impairment alone even below that level. Courts look at field sobriety test results, officer observations, and any blood or breath test data when deciding charges.

Minors in Navarro County face a zero-tolerance standard under Texas Alcoholic Beverage Code Section 106.041. Any detectable alcohol is a Class C offense. First offense minor DUI carries fines up to $500, mandatory community service, and license suspension. Courts can also require an alcohol awareness course. The minor's parent or guardian may be ordered to attend along with the defendant if the minor is under 18.

Crash reports for DWI accidents in Navarro County can be purchased through the TxDOT crash records system. Officers file these reports within 10 days of any crash involving injury, death, or property damage over $1,000. Regular copies cost $6.00 and certified copies are $8.00.

License Suspension in Navarro County DWI Cases

After a DWI arrest in Navarro County, Texas DPS starts the Administrative License Revocation process. The arresting officer takes the driver's physical license and gives a Notice of Suspension with a 40-day temporary driving permit. Drivers must request an ALR hearing within 15 days or the suspension takes effect automatically. This is a civil process, completely separate from the criminal DWI case.

Failing a breath or blood test results in a 90-day suspension for a first offense. Refusing the test leads to 180 days. Both periods double if there was a prior ALR suspension within the last decade. Even a not-guilty verdict in the criminal case does not cancel an ALR suspension that was not fought separately. A $125 reinstatement fee is due before DPS restores driving privileges. The governing statute is Transportation Code Chapter 524. Driving records can be ordered at dps.texas.gov for $4 to $22 depending on the record type.
