Texas Intoxication Manslaughter Penalties
Intoxication manslaughter is a second-degree felony in the state of Texas. With a slight change in circumstances, what would have been a misdemeanor DWI can quickly become a very serious felony. Deferred adjudication is not an option for intoxication offenses.
DWI manslaughter can carry the following penalties:
- $10,000 in fines
- 2 - 20 years in prison
- 180-days to 2-years driver's license suspension
Seek Aggressive Representation
The prosecution will likely want to strongly pursue a conviction of these types of cases on behalf of the victim’s family. The state of Texas is not likely to give up easily on this charge or give you a deal that does not include time in prison. You will need an experienced intoxication manslaughter attorney in San Antonio who can aggressively represent you and ensure that you are placed in the best position possible at the resolution of your case.
