DWI With Drugs
Now You’re Facing a Whole Lot More Than a DWI.
It started as a traffic stop. Maybe you had a few drinks. Maybe you didn’t think you were over the limit. But then they searched your car, or your pockets. Suddenly you’re being cuffed not just for DWI, but drug possession too.
Now you’re looking at multiple criminal charges in a state that doesn’t cut breaks for either one. And if you’re like most men in this position, you’re asking:
“How bad is this going to get?”
The answer: It depends on who’s standing in your corner.
At Blizzard and Zimmerman Attornys, Jacob Blizzard defense peope across the Abilene area and behone facing DWI and drug charges. We know how fast these cases spiral. We know how to fight to keep you out of jail, protect your record, and save your future.
The Stakes Are High. And You’re Facing a Double Hit
When you’re charged with both DWI and drug possession, Texas law treats these as separate offenses - each with their own penalties, and each capable of wrecking your life on their own.
A Typical Case Can Include:
DWI Charges:
- Up to 180 days in jail (first offense)
- License suspension (90 days to 1 year)
- Thousands in fines and court costs
- Mandatory DWI education and ignition interlock
Drug Possession Charges (even a small amount):
- Jail or prison time (even for a few pills or a single joint)
- Additional fines and license suspension
- Possible felony charges depending on the substance or amount
- A permanent drug conviction on your criminal record
Combine them, and you’re looking at serious jail time, a wrecked driving record, and major damage to your employment and reputation.
