What is the maximum fine for a first conviction of DUI with no injury involved for a person 21 or older?

The maximum fine for a first conviction of DUI with no injury involved for a person 21 or older is $2,000. This amount serves as a deterrent and reflects the seriousness of driving under the influence, even if no injury is involved. The legal framework aims to promote public safety and encourage responsible driving behaviors.

In Texas, the penalties for DUI can vary based on factors such as the severity of the offense and whether any injuries or aggravating circumstances were present. However, for a first offense without additional complications, the legislative intent is to impose a significant financial penalty to underscore the dangers of impaired driving while still allowing for some leniency for first-time offenders.
