Schwertner, TX. - DUI/DWI Offenders

Drinking and driving, or driving while under the influence are severe offenses not to be taken lightly. Although each state has its own way of dealing with DUI/DWI offenders, there are some generalities that can be expected. Depending on the level of the driver's intoxication and how stringent the state laws are, they may have to serve a jail sentence for their offense. Once this is accomplished they will likely have further retribution to do in order to drive a vehicle again. Many states require the person to undergo counseling and/or therapy to help in their recovery process. Typically these counseling sessions are held in a group setting by either a substance abuse counselor or a member of Alcoholics Anonymous. The state will require a set number of counseling hours that the DUI/DWI offender will need to attend.
