The cost of DUI in Texas is extremely steep, and by steep I’m not talking about a whistle steep but a scream steep, because that’s probably what you’ll do when you see the numbers. The cost of DUI in Texas can be as much as $20,000. This includes several separate and long ranging costs, such as:

  • bail
  • lawyer fees
  • insurance
  • court fees
  • fines
  • job loss
  • loss of wages while in jail/court

and so on. The insurance can take a hit for several years. For the first three years after you are convicted of DUI, you have to file an sr22 form. This high risk insurance can add up to thousands of dollars over this time. Even after you finish filing sr22, your DUI will keep your rates high for a couple more years.
