DWI Hit & Run Charges in Montgomery County

Defense from Our Montgomery County DWI Lawyer

If you have been involved in an accident and driving while intoxicated and left the scene, you may be charged with several other crimes including the DWI. The laws of Texas are not unlike that of other states which require you to remain present at the scene of an accident until police arrive and dismiss you.

If you leave the scene of an accident, you could be charged with attempting to flee and elude and if convicted you could face up to 180 days in jail and a maximum of $2,000 in fines. This would be in addition to any sentence you receive if you have also been convicted of a DWI. Of course, the penalties for DWI vary depending upon the number of DWI's you have on your record.

More information about DWI penalties can be found on the State of Texas' Department of Motor Vehicles' website.
