I got a DWI DUI in 2014 and got it dismissed thru veterans treatment court now I have another one does this mean it’s my 1st DWI DUI? I got a DWI back in 2014 with a bac of 0.15 or higher, went through the veterans treatment court and the case was dismissed. I went through the program and past all my treatment! I got another DWI and will this be my first DWI or my second!

You probably received deferred adjudication on an obstruction Hwy on your first DWI. With that, I mind the new case will be filed as a DWI 1st but will be treated by the DA as a DWI 2nd in terms of a plea bargain offer. In all likelihood, you will be back in CC#6 with Judge Christian. I have known Judge Christian for over 30 years and he was my former law partner and he will be tough on this new case. It may be possible to get the case dismissed or be found not guilty depending on the facts of your case. I would recommend that you retain an experienced DWI lawyer. Most like myself will offer you a free consultation
