The Montgomery County District Attorney’s office is implementing an initiative to seize vehicles owned by drivers convicted of certain felony offenses. The plan is to confiscate vehicles of drivers on a fourth felony conviction for driving while intoxicated in Texas, as well as those convicted of fleeing from police or convicted of causing an accident with serious injury of death while drag racing.
According to Texas DWI law, property used during a drunk driving offense or boating while intoxicated offense can be confiscated if the defendant has three prior convictions for the same offense. The Texas Code of Criminal Procedure also allows for seizure of vehicles in certain cases of drag racing and those who attempt to evade arrest.
