It is important to remember that in Texas it is not illegal
to have an alcoholic beverage and then drive a motor vehicle. It is probably
not a good idea, since law enforcement often get confused about the distinction
between drinking and driving and Driving While Intoxicated.
If you get pulled over and the officer smells alcohol on
your breath, you will end up doing the Macarena (also known as Field Sobriety
Testing) on video, for the state’s viewing pleasure.
I am always hesitant to agree with DPS about anything, but I
have to concede it is not a good idea to even drink and drive whether you
believe you are impaired or not. If you do end up getting “cuffed and stuffed”
you need to retain an attorney upon your release, as there are important
deadlines that follow a DWI arrest.
If you or someone you love is arrested for a DWI, please call Banks & Banks. We will be able to help.
