ToggleCharged with Felony DWI in Texas?
Know the truth about your chances to beat the case. Call Tad Nelson.
A felony DWI charge holds similar consequences to other felony crimes, and a conviction will wreak havoc on your life just the same. Persons charged with felony DWI offenses will face fines up to $10,000, prison sentencing guidelines that can go up to 20 years, and a Texas Driver’s License suspension that can last up to 2 years.
You will need an experienced and skillful defense attorney on your side if you’re in this situation.
At The Law Offices of Tad Nelson & Associates, we fight to minimize criminal consequences for our clients, and apply strong advocacy for case dismissal when appropriate. Our attorneys are familiar with the aggressive tactics used by prosecuting lawyers and the sometimes overreaching tactics of Houston law enforcement officers.
Founding attorney Tad Nelson is Board Certified® in criminal law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization. He is a former assistant district attorney for Galveston County, and he frequently instructs other criminal defense lawyers throughout the country about effective DWI defense practices that will benefit the accused.
Your defense is our focus. Call our League City, Texas, office at 281-280-0100, or our Houston, Texas office at 713-802-1631 if you need to consult with one the lawyers on our DWI team. You may also contact us online to arrange your initial consultation.

Tad and Amber are literally top of the game. When I need results, they are the only people I trust. Quality of service, knowledge and professionalism throughout. Don't gamble with a lawyer on any legal issue, you only want to bet on the best!
Thank you Tad Nelson for standing up for me and what is right, Tad Nelson is obviously well known and respected through out the court system as he spoke with authority and precisely to the assistant DA resulting in the dismissal of my case before the case went to trial. Thank you again. if you want it done call Tad Nelson
I hired them a while back for a DWI out in Harris County, they're good and if you need help with any kind of legal matter, give em a call. For a lawyer, Tad has a great personality so working with him should be easier than working with other lawyers.
He is the one lawyer that I can call and put my trust into. We’ve used him a couple of times, once for a family matter and another time for a troubled relative. He’ll help, tell you the truth with no sugar-coating, and will work for his salt. He’s a good guy and when you go to their office, they make you feel at home, like you’re part of the team. Good lawyers and great folks.
I've had the pleasure of working with Tad personally as a technology consultant for him in the past. We've eaten lunch and dinner together. I know that Tad is very dedicated to his clients and cares for them off the clock. He's definitely the lawyer you want on your side.
