He may or may not be punished for the parole violation.? They may wait and the judge on the DWI does to him first.? This may be some jail.

It depends upon what he is on parole for. I would guess that a DUI would be a violation of parole, in which case he could get jail time for simply violating parole, PLUS he could also do jail time if convicted of the DUI.

Your question requires an attorney consultation. It is not a simple question that can be answered on this type of forum. There are many factors that would need to be considered and evaluated. Your husband has a couple of problems. He will most likely have a parole violation based on the DUI and new charges (the DUI) to deal with.
