Have You Been Charged for BWI?

While it is common knowledge that driving a vehicle on the road while under the influence of alcohol or drugs is illegal, it is not always obvious to some individuals that it is also illegal to operate a boat with a blood alcohol concentration that exceeds the legal limit. Public waterways are patrolled by law enforcement in boats of their own, watching for individuals who appear to be navigating their boat hazardously, disobeying posted signs regarding speed or safety, as well as those who give clear indications that they are intoxicated. Law enforcement officers on waterways can pull over boaters and ask them to submit to field sobriety tests or breath tests in order to confirm if the driver is intoxicated or not. If the boat operator is intoxicated, they will be arrested and can face jail time as well as fines and loss of their boating license. If you've been arrested for what is commonly referred to as BWI, you should contact a Plano DWI attorney immediately for legal representation to protect your rights.

Boating while intoxicated (BWI) charges are taken just as seriously as DWI charges in Texas, and in cases involving multiple DWI offenders, even more serious. It is possible to face a minimum of 30 days up to 10 years to life in prison for a BWI conviction, depending upon the circumstances of the crime. These charges are very serious and can hinder your life permanently. Not only can this result in a loss of your boating license, but it can also affect job opportunities as well as financial decisions.
