Saltillo, TX DWI Law Firms & Lawyers

Unless there are extreme aggravating circumstances (such as someone getting hurt or your fleeing the scene of an accident), you are highly unlikely to get actual jail time for a first-time DWI. Get a lawyer (a court-appointed one if you're poor enough, though it's always better to hire a lawyer if you can) and follow his or her advice.

Whether you will be sentenced to jail depends on your particular Court and assigned Judge, and the facts/circumstances of the incident, and your past criminal history. I would kindly but strongly recommend you consult with a local DUI attorney to present all your best arguments.

No, all the testing methods show the same result if taken at the same time. The courts would not accept results if they weren't accurate every time. A little free advice: When arrested for DUI, whether alcohol or drugs, then upon release from jail or booking the defendant is given documents that include a notice that you have only ten days to file a request with DMV for a hearing on an appeal of the automatic suspension of your license imposed by DMV upon your arrest. That is separate and runs consecutively with any suspension that may be imposed by the DMV, or the court upon conviction. Contact DMV and do so, timely if you think you have grounds for appeal, then appear at tne scheduled DMV appeal hearing and present any supporting evidence and testimony. If you don't know how to do these things effectively, then hire an attorney that does. When charged with any crime, the proper questions are, can any evidence obtained in a test, search or confession be used against you, can you be convicted, and what can you do? If you don't know how to represent yourself effectively against an experienced prosecutor intending to convict, then hire an attorney who does, who will try to get a dismissal, charge reduction, diversion, program, or other decent outcome through plea bargain, or take it to trial if appropriate.
