Texas DWI Blood Alcohol Content BAC Chart

There are several important factors to know when it comes to Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) and DWI charges in Texas. The legal limit for intoxication in Texas is .08% BAC, but if an officer suspects you of driving while intoxicated, they can arrest and charge you despite your actual BAC level. Being charged with a crime does not prove you have broken the law. It is essential to have an experienced DWI attorney to help get the charges reduced or dismissed entirely.

Texas Blood Alcohol Content Limits

There are three different limits for BAC, depending on the circumstances. All of these apply to BAC at the time of driving, not at the time of testing.

• Non-Commercial Driver: Limit .08%
• Commercial CDL Driver: Limit .04% in any vehicle
• Any Driver under 21: Limit 0%

It is important to note that while, in Texas, consuming alcohol under the age of 21 in the presence of a parent is legal, operating a vehicle with any alcohol in your system under 21 is illegal.

Alcohol affects each person differently. It is important to take factors such as weight, gender, alcohol type, and food consumed, into consideration before getting behind the wheel of a car.
