An arrest for driving under the influence in Texas can have a significant impact on your life. If convicted there are immediate penalties like a loss of driver's license, jail sentence, court fees, hefty fines, probation and community service. If you have any prior arrests for Texas DUI on your record, the severity of the penalties increases and you may be required to install an ignition interlock device in your vehicle.

There are also long-term consequences such as loss of auto insurance or significantly higher premiums, surcharges to renew your driver's license and the stigma of a criminal arrest record. A simple background check could lead to loss of job, limited future job opportunities, a lower credit score and restrictions on traveling to some countries.
