You’ve seen the Texas highway ads that say “DWI you can’t afford it.”

If you are charged with DWI, that could mean high fines, special required classes, a suspended driver’s license, and even mandatory jail time. Did you know that DWI is the only misdemeanor in Texas with a required jail sentence, even if you are granted probation? Your future and even your very freedom may depend on the lawyer you hire.

If you are arrested for DWI, you need a lawyer who specializes in criminal defense. You need a lawyer who understands and monitors the complicated and ever-changing DWI laws.

At Crenshaw & Purvis, LLP, we feature to ex-prosecutors. Steve Crenshaw is a former First Assistant District Attorney and has a background of over 5 years of prosecuting crimes, including DWI. Jeff Purvis was also an Assistant District Attorney and is also Board Certified in Criminal Defense by the Texas Board of Specialization.

We understand what is at stake (your freedom, driving privileges, money, insurance, and time). We understand DWI (drunk driving) law. We understand the legal process (your DWI trial and your ALR hearing). We will do everything in our power, including using our knowledge of prosecuting DWI cases, to provide you with the best possible DWI defense. We will question all the evidence and challenge every element of the DWI charges. We also assist with ALR hearings (which are separate administrative hearings to determine if your license will be suspended).

It is important to hire an experienced DWI defense attorney as soon as possible. You only have 15 days to request your ALR hearing or license will automatically be suspended. In addition, the ALR hearing is a place for an experienced attorney to question the arresting officer. Any statements made by the arresting officer at the ALR hearing that could benefit you in the DWI trial will be binding on the officer.

If you are charged with drunk driving, whether a DWI or underage drinking (baby DUI), you want the best possible legal representation. A great deal is at stake: your freedom, your driver’s license, high fines, increased insurance premiums, and forced specialized classes. Contact Crenshaw & Purvis, LLP for experienced Texas DWI representation and to schedule a confidential consultation to discuss the facts surrounding your DWI case.
