After level one, comes level two (I’m sure you saw this coming). On level two, things begin to get a little murky. While it is no longer completely imperative for you to hire a Texas DWI lawyer, it’s still very much recommended. You can bypass it, but if you do, you’re still likely to get cut a pretty bad deal, although you have a chance of handling it by yourself. Have a consultation first so that you can see what your chances are before deciding whether to get one or not.

I very likely need a Texas DWI lawyer if…

• I wasn’t alone when I was pulled over for driving while intoxicated. If I had someone with me who was under the age of 18, then I could get hit with heavier fines, jail sentences, and so on. The younger the person is, the less forgiving the judge is likely to be, and the more I’ll need legal help.
• I’ve had a DWI before, and this is my second time. People who reoffend aren’t looked nicely on, and not only is the punishment harsher, but it’s harder to get off with a light sentence.
• I was very heavily drunk when I was caught. My blood alcohol level was twice the limit the state of Texas allows.
