DWI With Injury
You’re Not Just Up Against a DWI in a DWI with Injury. You’re Up Against a Felony.
If you’ve been arrested for driving while intoxicated (DWI) and someone was injured in the process, whether it was a passenger, the driver of another vechicle, or even a pedestrian, the State of Texas isn’t going to treat you like someone who made a mistake.
They’re going to treat you like a criminal, and prosecutors are going to come at you hard.
You’re facing felony charges, serious jail time, and the kind of permanent record that can destroy your career, your reputation, and your freedom.

What Is DWI with Injury (Intoxication Assault) in Texas?
Under Texas law, if you’re accused of causing serious bodily injury to another person while driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, you can be charged with Intoxication Assault, a third-degree felony.
That means:
- 2 to 10 years in state prison
- Up to $10,000 in fines
- Driver’s license suspension for 180 days to 2 years
- Felony conviction on your criminal record
- Mandatory drug/alcohol treatment and community service
If the injury is considered catastrophic, if the accident causes as permanent disfigurement, brain damage, or other serious injury, prosecutors may try to enhance the charges and seek even harsher penalties.
This is no longer about avoiding a DWI conviction. This is about **saving your future**.
