The first DWI conviction carries a punishment of up to six months in jail, a $2,000 fine or both, a suspended driver's license for up to a year and $1,000 or $2,000 for three years to retain the driver's license, according to the Texas Department of Transportation. However, heavier sentences are levied against multiple offenders.
