Sorry to hear guy. It really depends on what your attorney can work out with the DA. I’m not an attorney, but in my situation my attorney was able to knock it down to a DWI 1st, which meant no jail. In Texas, there is a mandatory 3 day jail sentence, but if you sat a night in jail, that would count towards those 3 days. I would google “DUI 2 [enter state] punishment] and see if your state has a mandatory jail sentence. It’s also a Class A Misdemeanor in TX, which is highest misdemeanor you can get. I would make sure you get a great attorney (read https://dui.zone/ ) and since you weren’t driving, maybe your attorney can get a decision to either have it dismissed or a plea of a 1st instead of 2nd.
