Protect Your CDL After A DWI In Victoria

A driving while intoxicated (DWI) charge can put your commercial driver’s license (CDL) and livelihood at risk. A conviction can lead to CDL disqualification and serious consequences for your career.

At Dornburg Law, we have defended Texans since 1999. With more than 50 years of combined experience, our DWI lawyers take an aggressive approach to criminal defense while helping clients understand their options.

Texas Sets A Lower BAC Threshold For Commercial Drivers

Commercial drivers face a lower blood alcohol concentration (BAC) threshold than most other drivers. Texas uses a .04% BAC threshold for drivers operating commercial motor vehicles.

What can happen to your CDL?

  • Disqualification: Certain alcohol-related offenses can disqualify you from operating a commercial motor vehicle.
  • Extended disqualification: Some circumstances can result in a longer period of disqualification.
  • Lifetime disqualification: Two or more qualifying convictions can lead to lifetime disqualification.

Losing your CDL can mean losing your ability to work in the field you know. Getting an occupational driver’s license may provide limited driving privileges in some situations, but it does not allow you to operate a commercial motor vehicle during a CDL disqualification.

We Challenge The Evidence Behind Your DWI

A DWI charge does not establish that every part of the stop or testing process was lawful. At Dornburg Law, our attorneys examine:

  • The traffic stop: Whether law enforcement had a legal basis to stop you.
  • Breath and blood testing: Whether officers conducted the tests properly and the results are reliable.
  • Police procedures: Whether officers followed required procedures during the investigation and arrest.

These issues can affect how authorities evaluate the evidence in your case. We can help you understand the legal issues and pursue an aggressive defense based on the facts.
