Driving While Intoxicated and Driving Under the Influence Charges

While DWI and DUI charges are often used interchangeably, Texas law distinguishes between the two. Driving while intoxicated is a charge assessed by a person’s blood alcohol concentration (BAC) or physical impairment based on drink or drug consumption. A BAC of 0.08% or more will result in a DWI for a person of any age. For commercial drivers, the BAC is 0.04% or more.

Driving under the influence is reserved for minors under the age of 21. Texas law actually prohibits anyone under age 21 from operating a vehicle after drinking any amount of alcohol. If a minor has any detectable alcohol below 0.08% in their system, they can receive a lesser charge of DUI.

Our DWI/DUI Legal Process

Penalties for DWI/DUI charges can vary considerably depending on age, level of BAC and previous violations. Convictions could involve driver’s license suspension, fines, community work and prison sentences for repeat offenders. With serious consequences for a conviction, it is important to work with a criminal law attorney with experience in DWI/DUI cases. Here is what you can expect from our attorneys at Lucé Law, PC.

  • Dedicated representation – Support and guidance from the arrest to any plea bargains, trials and future repercussions.
  • Challenge license suspension – We will fight to prevent an automatic license suspension within the 15-day deadline.
  • Contest evidence – Research, analyze and dispute evidence where police officers did not fully adhere to Texas state law.

“ Mr. Lucé and his firm changed my opinion of lawyers. Mr. Lucé and his entire staff stood beside me 100% after being in a horrible car wreck in March 2016. He came to me due to the fact I was unable to walk or drive,and spent about four hours in my home with me. He , Sandy and Jackson his son worked many long hours on my case. He says and believes " keep the faith" and when he's on your side it's easier to do. The compassion towards me and my situation still leaves me honored and there's simply not words to describe. Mr. Lucé is also a very good teacher and explained all the legalities and never hesitated to answer any of my questions. I'm very happy with my decision based off a referral who is also in the legal field and you will be too, God forbid you need him. I've had the opportunity to meet his wife and son Jackson and what a beautiful family who's integrity shines thru. The whole team worked together and helped me make it thru my darkest and scariest of times. Thank You Mr. Lucé.”

“ We recently went through a law suit after 29 years in business. It was devastating to us never having gone through anything like that before. Joe and his staff were wonderful. Joe was reassuring to us and his confidence put us at ease many times through the process. I would definitely recommend him to anyone. He is a good man and he wisely has surrounded himself with a good staff. They were always ready and eager to help us in a time when we needed it. They all remain good friends.”
