The cost of a DWI conviction in Texas can include anything from paying a bond to get out of jail, to the cost from having your vehicle towed and getting it out of an impound lot, to associated legal fees, and to the expense of taking DWI classes as part of your punishment. Texas DWI classes are mandatory for DWI offenders who are convicted and sentenced to community supervision (e.g., probation or deferred adjudication). The class that you will be required to take is dependent upon whether you are a first-time offender, have multiple DWIs on your record, or are a juvenile. The length of time for your DWI class depends on the situation, with most classes ranging from 32 hours to 12 hours to 6 hours. The longest classes are usually broken down into 3–4-hour sessions over the course of several weeks. Your Texas DWI class must be through a state-certified offender education provider.
