This is not a California question, you need to ask a lawyer in your home state, in California, under certain facts a DUI can be a felony.

A misdemeanor is a anything that carries less than 1 year in jail. A felony carries more than that. What it is depends on what the charges are in court. In some cases OWI can be a felony if there was death, serious injury, minor children or a third offense.

The prosecutor would have to file the charges as a felony and there would be another arraignment. The prosecutor would have to prove all of the elements of the felony at trial.
