To some degree the DA's office can hold it against you... In the sense of potentially offering you another DWAI on any new DWI charge... Generally the time limit for previous cases to count for an individual to be considered a repeat offender for sentencing purposes is only ten years, but there is no legal rule as far as what the DA may offer you or may not on a given case.

My office handles many DWI/DWAI charges... You may visit us at BYEDWI.COM for further info or call us at 877.2BYE.DWI and selecting to speak to me, lead attorney carlos gonzalez
