Commercial Driver's License DWI
Your License. Your Job. Your Future. It’s All at Risk.
As a commercial driver, your livelihood depends on your license. A DWI charge in Texas doesn’t just threaten your freedom, it puts your entire career on the line.
Whether you drive a truck, bus, delivery vehicle, or anything in between, a DWI arrest can lead to an automatic disqualification of your CDL, even for a first-time offense.
And without your CDL, you can’t work.
No income. No route. No job.
At Blizzard and Zimmerman Attorneys understand what’s at stake - and we know how to fight to protect what you’ve worked so hard to build.
Why a DWI Is More Serious for CDL Holders
Under Texas and federal law, CDL drivers are held to a higher standard than regular drivers.
What That Means for You:
- You can be charged with DWI in a commercial vehicle if your BAC is just 0.04% or higher
- You can still face DWI charges even if you were driving your personal vehicle
- A DWI conviction - even for a first offense - means a minimum 1-year CDL suspension
- A second offense? You’re looking at lifetime disqualification
This isn’t just a fine and a few classes. This is your entire career placed in jeopardy.
