Texas Criminal Defense Group has released a guide covering DWI charges, attorney fees, and license suspension rules for individuals arrested in Midland, TX.
-- Texas Criminal Defense Group has published a new online guide addressing the legal and financial realities of a DWI arrest in Midland, TX. The resource walks defendants through what to expect at each stage of the process — from first-offense penalties and license suspension deadlines to how defense attorney fees are typically structured.

DWI attorney fees in Texas typically range from $5,000 to $15,000 or more, depending on case complexity — a figure that can come as a surprise to defendants who are simultaneously managing the financial weight of potential fines and court costs. Texas Criminal Defense Group's guide breaks down what drives those fees and how billing structures, such as flat fees versus hourly arrangements, tend to differ across cases.
Among the most time-sensitive details covered in the guide is the Administrative License Revocation (ALR) process. Individuals arrested for DWI in Texas have 15 days to request a hearing with the Texas Department of Public Safety to contest a license suspension. Missing that window means the suspension takes effect automatically — typically 40 days after the arrest date.
For a first breathalyzer refusal, the suspension period is 180 days; a first failed test carries a 90-day suspension. On the criminal side, a first-offense DWI in Texas is classified as a Class B misdemeanor, carrying fines of up to $2,000, jail time between 72 hours and 180 days, and a license suspension of up to one year. A BAC of 0.15% or higher elevates the charge to a Class A misdemeanor, with fines reaching $4,000 and up to one year in jail.
Texas Criminal Defense Group notes that outcomes in DWI cases can vary significantly based on the quality of legal representation and how early an attorney gets involved. The firm states it maintains an in-house forensic toxicologist who reviews every blood test, providing technical analysis that can be used to challenge prosecution evidence at the chemical level.
"Even a first DWI carries jail time, fines, and long-term consequences for driving records, insurance, and background checks," a Texas Criminal Defense Group spokesperson said. "Deadlines, procedures, and evidentiary rules are complex, and an experienced attorney can identify defenses that could make a lasting difference in your outcome."
Texas Criminal Defense Group handles DWI cases across Texas, with offices in Midland and familiarity with local court procedures and prosecutors. The guide is part of an ongoing series of resources the firm has published to inform defendants and their families about the legal process, timelines, and options available after a DWI arrest.
