DWI & DUI
Today, the penalties
for intoxication (Driving While intoxicated, Boating While intoxicated, Intoxication Assault and Intoxication Manslaughter, Public Intoxication) in Texas have never been more severe.
For example, DWI is the only misdemeanor criminal offense for which you cannot receive deferred adjudication. Moreover, new laws require that if your license
is suspended for DWI, you will be required to pay a minimum of $1,000 per year for three years just to keep your license. Because of these and many other extra penalties associated with DWI, Mitchell Nolte often advises his DWI clients to try their case to a jury. As a former prosecutor with the Collin County District Attorney’s Office, Mr. Nolte knows the difference an experienced DWI lawyer can make in a jury trial.
Mr. Nolte will obtain a copy of the police report and videotape and help you evaluate your options. He will defend you both at your license
suspension hearing and at trial by vigorously cross-examining the arresting officers and the Intoxilizer 5000 technical supervisor. If your license is suspended Mr. Nolte can also get you an Occupational
Drivers’ License (ODL) during the suspension period.
