Unless driving is part of the requirements for a job, having a DWI on your record should have absolutely no impact on your employment, and this will also apply to your cosmetology license. It should make no difference whatsoever, and if it does, you can get advice and challenge the decision.
Community Service under Texan law dictates that this will be a minimum of 24 hours up to a maximum of 100 hours.
It is usual for somebody who has been convicted of DWI for the first time in Texas to be given probation (community supervision). This is usually between one and two years, and will have conditions attached.
These can include having to accept being evaluated to see if you have a drug or alcohol problem and so be likely to re-offend, and attending a designated class within the first six months after a charge has been made. This last condition will mean that you will not lose your license for the usual year, unless you are under the age of 21 when the arrest was made.
