A DWI charge is the offense of driving a vehicle while “under the influence” of alcohol or a controlled substance. Most commonly, a person will be charged with a DWI/DUI if they are driving with a blood alcohol content of 0.08 percent or higher. A person is “under the influence” after consuming some substance, such that their physical or mental abilities are impaired so much that they are not able to drive a vehicle with caution, in the same manner as a sober person would.

In Texas, theft is classified based on the value of the stolen property. Theft of items worth less than $2,500 is generally a misdemeanor, with penalties ranging from a fine up to $500 for theft under $100, to up to 1 year in jail and a $4,000 fine for theft between $750 and $2,499. Theft of property valued at $2,500 or more is considered felony theft under Texas Penal Code Section 31.03. Felony theft charges can result in state jail time of 180 days to 2 years and a fine up to $10,000 for thefts between $2,500 and $29,999, while thefts of higher value items can lead to even more severe penalties, including up to 10 years in prison for stealing property worth $30,000 to $149,999.
