QUESTION
What kind of charges for a 2nd or 3rd DUI conviction?
Asked on Oct 24th, 2012 on DUI/DWI - Texas
More details to this question:
A person I know has 3 DWI's is in jail now for his second and when he gets out he will have a court hearing for his 3rd. He missed his court date because he was in jail. My questions are the following: He was 17 on his first offense. Will that be counted towards his adult record making this his 3rd offense or will the courts consider this his 2nd offense? One was in a different state and the latest one that he will have to face court after he gets out of jail is in Texas. So 2 in Texas and one in Pennsylvania. What kind of charges might he be facing in either case?

You need an experienced DWI attorney. The first when he was 17 can be used as a prior if after 1985. And you'll have to look at Pennsylvania law. But they absolutely could be valid prior enhancements. You need a great DWI attorney.
