DWI offenses carry a range of punishment classifications. A Class B first time DWI carries a range of punishment from 1-180 days in county jail. An offer of jail time is negotiated by your attorney with the District Attorney’s Office. In considering a recommendation the assigned Assistant District Attorney will consider facts of your case and your prior criminal record.

A Pre-Trial Intervention is Harris County District Attorney’s Office program that allows for the defendant to avoid a final conviction while being placed on supervision for a period of time. Clients do not need to plead guilty, and there is no finding of guilt. Upon completion of a set supervised period of time, the case is dismissed without a conviction on your record. Successfully completing a Pre-Trial Diversion will NOT result in a conviction and it will NOT become a part of your criminal record.
A case may be dismissed by the District Attorney’s Office for various reasons. You need an experienced Houston criminal defense attorney to defend your rights and be your voice in court.
