DWIs Can Mean Jail Time and Serious Fines
You might think your first DWI will land you a simple slap on the wrist. Think again. It can land you in jail on top of making you pay thousands in fees.
Here are the penalties for DWI convictions in McKinney and Collin County:
First-time offense
- A $2,000 fine
- Between 3 and 180 days in jail
- Loss of driver’s license for up to a year
Second-time offense:
- A $4,000 fine
- Between one and 12 months in jail
- Loss of driver’s license for up to two years
Third-time+ offense
- A $10,000 fine
- Between 2 and 10 years in prison

This is just for the DWI charge. If you face further charges for breaking other laws, you’re looking at more jail time and worse fines if convicted.
Put Up a Fight and Take Back Your Future
You won’t just be facing penalties from the Collin County court system, you’ll be facing social ones as well. You will be ineligible for certain jobs with a DWI conviction. If you are convicted for a third time and get a felony on your record, you might have a hard time finding any form of employment at all due to the stigma that convicts carry with them.
It may seem bleak, but don’t give up yet.
You don’t have to face your DWI by yourself. There are legal defense teams that exist solely to fight these charges in Texas.
