There are a number of specific circumstances that can turn a normal DUI into a felony DWI. The most common felony DWI charge stems from the accused having two prior DWI or DUI convictions. These convictions could have happened anywhere and at any time. Other additional circumstances that can lead to a felony alcohol intoxication assault including:

• Vehicular Homicide
• Intoxication Manslaughter
• Intoxication Assault (drunk driving accident with serious bodily injury).
• Child under 15 in Car at Time of DWI

With 20 years of criminal law experience, attorney Jeff Senter has won felony DWI trials in Austin. We know how to build a strong and comprehensive defense strategy. In addition to the traditional DWI defense strategies, such as challenging the initial stop, and breath and blood tests, we will pursue strategies specific to felony DWI charges.

We will focus on the parts of the indictment that must be proved in order to convert the DWI misdemeanor into a felony. Known as enhancement paragraphs, our goal is to find triable issues where guilt beyond a reasonable doubt will be difficult to prove.
