Texas DUI/DWI Penalties: 1st vs 2nd Offense

Understanding what you’re facing is the first step. The penalties escalate significantly from a first to a second offense — but with the right attorney, there are options to fight back.

Class B Misdemeanor

1st Offense DWI

Jail Time 3 – 180 days
Fines Up to $2,000
License Suspension Up to 1 year
Probation Up to 2 years
Additional Ignition interlock possible

Class A Misdemeanor

2nd Offense DWI

Jail Time 30 days – 1 year
Fines Up to $4,000
License Suspension Up to 2 years
Probation Up to 2 years
Additional Ignition interlock required

These are maximum penalties — not guaranteed outcomes. An experienced DWI attorney can fight to reduce or dismiss charges entirely.
