They’ll Say You Threaten Public Safety

In DWI cases, the jury is usually skeptical of the defendant’s character. The prosecutor has an example to make, which may seem like a vendetta since there’s a child involved. The judge might not consider leniency either because of the negative public connotation associated with people who drive while legally intoxicated; “sudden death waiting to happen.”

Attorney Jack B. Carroll has extensive experience assisting people with these types of situations. The burden is on the state of Texas to prove that you were actually intoxicated for prosecutors to earn a conviction. We know how to hold them accountable for the proof.

The burden of proof involves the State of Texas proving, beyond a reasonable doubt, that you were, in fact, intoxicated. If they aren’t able to prove you were intoxicated, and can’t prove their evidence is valid, or if their evidence is inadmissible, you walk.

Penalties if Convicted for DWI/Child Passenger

DWI with Child Passenger cases are classified as State Jail Felony offenses in the state of Texas. Outlined below is a general overview of applicable penalties following a guilty conviction.

• Fine: up to 10,000.
• State Jail Time: 6 Months to 2 Years
• Texas Drivers License Suspension: 180 days to 2 years

In a lot of the DWI trials, in which we’ve won for our clients, the result was either based on the biochemical nature of the evidence, security footage of the defendant, the defendant’s rights being violated, or there simply being problems with, or a lack of, credible evidence.

When charged with a child passenger-involved DWI or another offense, do not give up on your case, do not give in, it may be winnable.
