Texas tougher DWI law sets jail term for repeat offenders
The new Texas statute, effective January 1, 1984, mandates minimum jail terms for second and later DWI offenses, eliminates deferred adjudication, increases fines, and adds penalties for serious bodily injury and fatalities. DPS Director Colonel Jim Adams says the law closes back doors in the criminal system and strengthens prosecutions. It also imposes automatic 90 day license suspensions for refusals and allows vehicle seizure after the fourth DWI.
