2 years. But they can drag it out however long once you have been arrested. Hire a DWI trial lawyer in your area to investigate quietly.

I had 3 DUI back when they had the 10 year rule and I was over that so I wasn’t charged for a felony back then is this correct?

So if it was not a felony at the time it was charged years ago, it does not become a felony now because the law has changed. However, be aware that if you get another one - ever - you can be charged with a felony.
