Dwi Attorneys
Q.Dwi help between new jersey and texas! will my new jersey conviction be discovered by texas? i have a dwi conviction in NJ and received one in Tx-- awaiting a court date.. will my record from the previous state show up? i have an attorney but i don't want the information to come out if possible i should have mentioned that someone crashed into me and totaled my car and almost me in the middle of the afternoon. i was on my way back from the grocery store after working out and going to work in less then 1 & 1/2 hours. a bottle of wine in my grocery box shattered and that is why they took me in and charged me after refusing to let me have a blood test at the hospital upon my request. with all due respect.
A.It is highly probable that your NJ conviction will show up. Most states report all criminal convictions to the FBI thorugh their computerized criminal history files. The D.A. will run you through this and find the conviction. And here is why it is importnat for you to make sure your defense attorney knows. Texas law allows the use of DWI convictions from other states to upgrade the penalty of the Texas DWI conviction. The attached link shows that your second DWI (this is at least your second now) has a minimum time of 30 days in jail. Note the definition to include the other state conviction in it. You may be able to get a plea bargain if your defense attorney knows, but if he is surprised, you will get the shaft. There is a slim chance NJ will slip through the cracks, but I wouldn't count on it. Time to fess up to your lawyer if you haven't already. You do NOT want surprises in court. If there were a chance the judge/DA would be lenient on you, that bit of news will blow it.
