DEFINITIONS:
"Per Se" Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) Level
As of August 2005, all states have DUI laws that deem "per se intoxicated" any driver with a blood-alcohol concentration (BAC) at or above .08 percent. This means that drivers with a BAC at or above .08 are intoxicated in the eyes of the law, and no additional proof of driving impairment is necessary.

"Zero Tolerance" Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) Level
All states carry "zero tolerance" laws that target drivers under the legal drinking age. These laws penalize persons under 21 for operating a vehicle with any trace of alcohol in their systems (a BAC above 0.0), or with negligible BAC levels such as .01 or .02 percent.

"Enhanced Penalty" Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) Level
Many states impose harsher penalties on DUI offenders with a particularly high BAC at the time of the offense, typically .15 to .20 percent. DUI offenders with a BAC at or above their state’s enhanced penalty standards will likely face additional jail time, harsher fines, and more severe driver’s license sanctions.

"Implied Consent" Laws
"Implied consent" laws require vehicle drivers to submit to some form of chemical test, such as breath, blood, or urine testing, if suspected of DUI. If a driver refuses to submit to such testing, implied consent laws carry penalties such as mandatory suspension of a driver’s license, usually for six months to a year.

Note: Persons arrested for DUI will be subject to additional criminal law penalties not addressed here -- including jail time, fines, and community service. Such criminal penalties are typically more discretionary than those identified in this chart, and are therefore more difficult to accurately predict. Generally speaking, first-time DUI offenders can expect to incur a fine, and face the possibility of jail time. Repeat DUI offenders will incur harsher fines, and will almost certainly be sentenced to a number of days in jail. Penalties will be harsher still if the DUI offender was involved in an accident in which someone else was injured or killed.

DEFINITIONS:
Administrative License Suspension/Revocation
The Administrative License Suspension/Revocation penalties indicated here refer to minimum mandatory penalties imposed on drivers whose BAC is above the state limit for intoxication, or drivers who refuse to submit to BAC testing. Administrative suspension or revocation of a driver’s license is usually carried out by a state agency (such as a Department of Motor Vehicles), distinct from any criminal court penalties. Most states impose harsher penalties for second or third DUI offenses, typically defined as those that occur within five years of a prior DUI offense.

Note: the penalties identified here do not include variations for DUI offenders operating commercial vehicles, or drivers who have violated "zero tolerance" and "enhanced penalty" DUI laws (see Table 1). Most states recognize different sanctions for these types of DUI offenses.

Mandatory Alcohol Education and Assessment/Treatment
Alcohol education and treatment/assessment penalties for DUI offenders can include mandatory attendance at DUI prevention programs, and assessment of potential alcohol dependency problems. Such programs are often made "conditions" of a suspended sentence or probation, meaning that a DUI offender can avoid jail time and payment of hefty fines if he or she completes participation in the program. This chart indicates each state’s utilization of alcohol education and treatment/assessment programs.

Vehicle Confiscation
Vehicle confiscation penalties allow a motor vehicle department or law enforcement agency to seize a DUI offender’s vehicle, either permanently or for a set period of time. Such penalties typically apply only to repeat DUI offenders, and often the return of the vehicle requires payment of fines and significant administrative costs. This chart indicates each state’s utilization of vehicle confiscation as a penalty for DUI.

Ignition Interlock
A vehicle ignition interlock breath-testing device measures a vehicle operator’s BAC, and will prevent operation of the vehicle if more than a minimal amount of alcohol is detected (i.e. BAC level of .02). DUI offenders will usually be required to pay the costs of installation, rental, and maintenance of an ignition interlock device.

Jason Zendeh Del is one of the founding members of The Zendeh Del Law Firm, PLLC. His practice primarily focuses on protecting the rights of individuals and corporations who need aggressive and creative representation.

Mr. Zendeh Del is a native Texan. He was born and raised on the Gulf Coast in Galveston but also spent time much of his time on the family ranch in the Texas Hill Country. He attended Baylor University where he successfully completed Business School in only three years and was awarded a Bachelor of Business Administration Degree with double majors in Finance and Real Estate.

After Baylor University, Mr. Zendeh Del was drawn to the top trial advocacy law school in the nation according to U.S News and World Reports, South Texas College of Law in Houston, Texas. There, he was recognized as a distinguished student and completed the Pro Bono Honors Program. During law school, Mr. Zendeh Del first worked in the Office of the Harris County Attorney, where he was responsible for assisting with all aspects of a busy litigation division. During his last two years of law school, Mr. Zendeh Del worked for the Harris County District Attorney’s Office, where he handled numerous criminal cases and assisted in the trial of a high profile capital murder.

Upon graduation from law school, Mr. Zendeh Del was immediately offered a position as an Assistant District Attorney with Fort Bend County. When he later decided that the Dallas / Fort Worth area would be his home, Mr. Zendeh Del accepted a position with Tarrant County District Attorney’s Office. In his time as a prosecutor for the State of Texas , Mr. Zendeh Del handled thousands of criminal cases and his track record is unparalleled. He is held in high regard by his colleagues and by many Judges across the state.

In 2007, Mr. Zendeh Del was selected to attend the prestigious National Advocacy Center (NAC) in South Carolina. The NAC is a joint venture of the National District Attorneys Association and the United States Department of Justice, where the best trial attorneys from across the nation meet to perfect their courtroom skills. The NAC is an experience that is sought out by many attorneys but realized by only a few. In 2008, Mr. Zendeh Del was again invited to attend the NAC.

In addition to his skills as a litigator, Mr. Zendeh Del is also well trained in Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), receiving his Mediator Certification from The Frank Evans Center for Conflict Resolution. With Civil and Family Courts often requiring mediation before trial, Mr. Zendeh Del’s skills in ADR are a tremendous asset to our clients who choose these alternative methods to resolve their disputes.

Mr. Zendeh Del takes special pride in the practice of law. This is why he is a member of many professional organizations including the Texas Criminal Defense Lawyers Association and The College of the State Bar of Texas (The College).
