In your next meeting with your DWI attorney in Houston TX, which should be soon, you should discuss what exactly the two of you hope to accomplish in court. Are you looking to be allowed certain restricted abilities to drive? Do you want six months in jail (or none) instead of a year? Do you want to get rid of all punishment? The last option might be the favorite for many, but is rarely possible. Discussing these things with your lawyer allow you to keep in touch with reality, and know when this will all be over–another important goal to define.

You should be in communication with your lawyer and with the people at the courthouse or the police department responsible for your case, so that you have every bit of information which might help or hurt you and can put it in the hands of your lawyer. Don’t be afraid to ask questions, and always expect an answer.
