Any second DWI conviction is a felony in Texas. A first DWI is a felony if there is a person 15 years or younger in the car, otherwise the first DWI is a misdemeanor.

Can you get probation with a dwi felony?

This depends on so many different factors and circumstances surrounding the dwi. It is certainly possible under a plea agreement if you have the right attorney, a lenient prosecutor and lenient judge. It is also unlikely that you will only get probation if your dwi felony is due to multiple dwi offences in the past. Honestly though, jail time for a dwi felony should be the least of ones worries. A felony will make it extremely difficult to secure employment.
