A third or subsequent DWI conviction in Texas is a Third-Degree Felony under Penal Code § 49.09(b), carrying 2–10 years in a TDCJ prison and a fine up to $10,000. Texas counts all prior DWI convictions regardless of how old they are — there is no washout period. A prior intoxication manslaughter conviction elevates the charge to a Second-Degree Felony. Defendants typically face mandatory ignition interlock, license suspension, DWI intervention programs, and potentially prison without probation eligibility depending on prior record.
