Houston Boating While Intoxicated (BWI) Defense Attorneys

Many individuals remain unaware that drinking while operating a watercraft, such as a boat or a jet ski, is illegal. An intoxicated boat operator poses a significant threat to their own welfare and also to that of others onboard or in the vicinity of the vessel. Boating while intoxicated (BWI) is especially dangerous because of the risk of drowning. BWI laws, similar to DWI laws, vary from state to state, but in the state of Texas, the consequences of a BWI conviction are very similar to those associated with DWI.

If you or someone you know has been charged with operating a boat while intoxicated, this can put a stain on your reputation, both professionally and personally, wholly independent of legal concerns.
