The below information is copied word for word from the link at the bottom.

- Fined up to $1,000, in addition to court costs.

- Up to six months of additional jail time.

- Six weeks in an inpatient substance abuse program, plus 12 months in an outpatient substance abuse program.
Fourth Offense
- Mandatory 30 days in jail.
- Up to 30 years in prison.
- Possible home confinement for 5 years.
- Fined up to $5,000, in addition to court costs.
- Possible loss of vehicle.

First and second convictions of DWI earn you a criminal record. Third and fourth convictions land you a felony criminal record.
Your judge may even require you to enroll in a driver improvement program or work on community service projects. You must pay for all costs associated with these requirements.
You can't drive, you're broke, you're in jail, and you may have killed someone. That good time doesn't quite seem worth it now, does it?
