Intoxication Assault & Manslaughter

YOUR INTOXICATION ASSAULT LAWYER IN SAN ANTONIO

In Texas, intoxication assault is a third-degree felony. It occurs when a person is driving while intoxicated and, as a result, causes serious bodily injury to another human being. Serious bodily injury is an injury that creates a substantial risk of death or loss of one’s body parts or organs. Intoxication manslaughter is a second-degree felony and occurs when a person is driving while intoxicated and causes the death of another human being.

It is important that you contact a DWI lawyer immediately. San Antonio DWI lawyer Tylden Shaeffer has experience defending against an intoxication assault case. If you have been charged with this type of charge, your sentence may consist of the following:

Intoxication Assault:

  • Up to a $10,000 fine
