Grimes County DWI Charges & Penalties

DWI, or driving while intoxicated, is also referred to as DUI (driving under the influence) in other states. This criminal offense occurs when an individual drives a motor vehicle while intoxicated due to alcohol and/or drugs. Intoxication may be evidenced by physical and/or mental abilities being impaired, or by a blood alcohol or breath alcohol concentration of .08% or greater.

The specific penalties that a driver may face for a DWI conviction in Grimes County will depend upon whether this is his or her first, second, third or subsequent conviction, the driver’s particular blood alcohol concentration, whether a minor was in the vehicle and whether anyone was injured.  A typical DWI conviction may result in imprisonment, fines, court fees, driver’s license suspension or revocation, community service, and probation.
