Pflugerville, TX DWI Law Firms & Lawyers

You are correct with respect to the range of punishment on a 1st DWI. However, there is a possible enhancement issue. If your breath/blood test is over a .15 they can enhance you. What that means is that you would be facing the same range of punishment someone would face for a 2nd DWI, which is up to 1 year in jail, and a $4K fine. If it's not the enhancement issue, and you have no priors, they may have your name in the TCIC/NCIC check mixed up with someone else's.  In my opinion, you shouldn't be asking about the range of punishment until you know if they can even prove their case, though. I always inform my DWI clients of the range of punishment. But, I also make sure they understand the most important thing to do is to see if their evidence is sufficient to convict you. If it's not, or if you don't know, you need to hire an attorney who can/will do that for you.    

It just means it is not a trial setting. It will be a setting where Mr. Molina will be brought up to the court, and he will get to meet with his appointed attorney for the misdemeanor assault case. If he wants to resolve his case by a plea bargain, he can do so on that date. If not, he can reset for another non-trial setting, or, he can set his case for a pre-trial conference (and eventually trial). Feel free to give us a call, or send us an email if you want to discuss representation for his assault case, or the Felony Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle case he has pending.   Tristan LeGrande 281-684-3500  tristan@legrandelaw.com
