DUI's had a conviction rate of about 72%, meaning 72% of people who went to court for DUI's in Texas in 2013 ended up being convicted. This is important to keep in mind for any driver, as a conviction makes it much harder to clean your record after the case is over.
In Texas, a case that results in conviction is no longer eligible for expunction or non-disclosure. This significantly limits your options in cleaning your record once the case has left courts. The most important thing you can do to protect yourself from these charges is never to drink and drive and never get in a car with a drunk driver.
If you do get arrested for a drunk driving incident, make sure you know the results of your case. Even charges that lead to probation for DWI's will usually still place a conviction on your record.
