(1) A person is guilty of driving while under the influence of intoxicating liquor or any drug if the person drives a vehicle within this state:      (a) And the person has, within two hours after driving, an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or higher as shown by analysis of the person's breath or blood made under RCW 46.61.506 ; or      (b) While the person is under the influence of or affected by intoxicating liquor or any drug; or      (c) While the person is under the combined influence of or affected by intoxicating liquor and any drug.      (2) The fact that a person charged with a violation of this section is or has been entitled to use a drug under the laws of this state shall not constitute a defense against a charge of violating this section.      (3) It is an affirmative defense to a violation of subsection (1)(a) of this section which the defendant must prove by a preponderance of the evidence that the defendant consumed a sufficient quantity of alcohol after the time of driving and before the administration of an analysis of the person's breath or blood to cause the defendant's alcohol concentration to be 0.08 or more within two hours after driving. The court shall not admit evidence of this defense unless the defendant notifies the prosecution prior to the omnibus or pretrial hearing in the case of the defendant's intent to assert the affirmative defense.      (4) Analyses of blood or breath samples obtained more than two hours after the alleged driving may be used as evidence that within two hours of the alleged driving, a person had an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more in violation of subsection (1)(a) of this section, and in any case in which the analysis shows an alcohol concentration above 0.00 may be used as evidence that a person was under the influence of or affected by intoxicating liquor or any drug in violation of subsection (1)(b) or (c) of this section.      (5) A violation of this section is a gross misdemeanor.

John defends DWI cases in the above cities and their surrounding counties, including: Brazoria, Chambers, Fort Bend, Galveston, Harris, Liberty, Montgomery and Waller Counties. The laws in Texas regarding Driving While Intoxicated (DWI-DUI) or Drunk Driving have changed dramatically and are very strict. You are facing potential jail time and driver's license suspension. You need the advice of an experienced and aggressive Texas DWI Lawyer immediately to begin protecting your rights and save your driver's license privileges. While you are here, you need to . . . Get the facts and know the law from a Texas Attorney for dwi defense in Houston . Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) in Texas Just the Facts Ma'am... DWI FACT: Approximately 1.4 million drivers were arrested in the United States, in 2001, for [Driving While Intoxicated (DWI)] or Driving Under the Influence of alcohol or narcotics. This is an arrest rate of 1 for every 137 licensed drivers in the United States. 1 DWI FACT: Over 11,000 people per year are arrested for Driving While Intoxicated in Harris, Montgomery and their surrounding Counties. 2 DWI FACT: You have the right to remain silent and not answer any questions. You should never answer the officer’s questions regarding your impairment or the amount you had to drink. DWI FACT: You have fifteen (15) days after a police officer, in Texas, arrests you for Driving While Intoxicated in which to request an Administrative License Revocation Hearing (ALR) from the Texas Department of Public Safety in order to try to save your driving privileges. If you do not request a hearing within the fifteen (15) day time period your driver’s license will be suspended on the fortieth (40th) day following your arrest. DWI FACT: In Texas, field sobriety testing is voluntary. You do not have to take any field sobriety tests whether roadside or at the police station. DWI FACT: The Intoxilyzer machine is a large machine and is housed at the police station. If the officer pulls out a handheld device, commonly referred to as a “Portable Breath Test” device or “PBT”, you are not required to blow in the device nor will your driver’s license be suspended for refusing to blow into the device. In fact, in Texas, the actual results of this test are not admissible in Court at your trial. DWI FACT: In Texas the sampling of blood, breath and urine are the three ways law enforcement officers measure the alcohol content in an individual’s body. In most situations you do not have to submit to any of these tests, unless you are under a direct court order. DWI FACT: If you are interviewing an attorney about your DWI case and the attorney does not mention or discuss representing you at the Administrative License Revocation (ALR) Hearing as part of his or her representation of you in the DWI case then you are not talking with an experienced DWI lawyer. DWI FACT: If you plead guilty you will be giving up many important rights. Do not do it unless directly advised to do so by a lawyer representing you and your best interests. Driving While Intoxicated or “DWI” is a very serious offense in Texas. The individual arrested today in Texas for Driving While Intoxicated, commonly referred to as DWI, faces bewildering procedures and potentially devastating punishments, i.e., suspension of driving privileges, fines, and/or jail, or prison if there are injuries, particularly if this is not that person’s first time being charged with Driving While Intoxicated. Sometimes the punishments can be more severe than some felony offenses not to mention employment opportunities destroyed as well as automobile insurance costs soaring through the roof. You should remember, DWI is the only criminal offense that uses subjective evidence for convictions — i.e., the evidence against an individual is based on the personal belief of the arresting police officer for the few minutes they are around each other. If you or someone you know is charged with Driving While Intoxicated, the case should be discussed with an attorney who handles DWIs as opposed to someone who has handled a few or whose work is mainly some other area of the law. An attorney can discuss the specific facts of the arrest, and review the evidence that the prosecutors will rely upon at trial. In many cases, there are valid legal defenses available to these charges, and an attorney experienced in handling DWI cases is best prepared to present these defenses to the court. Contrary to popular belief, some experts as well as this author believe that both the breath machines (Intoxilyzer 5000) as well as the field sobriety tests administered by police in Driving While Intoxicated (DWI-DUI) cases are inaccurate and unreliable. This website is designed to give you information and an overview of Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) law in Texas. Do not rely on it for legal advice, as it is not intended to help you represent yourself in your own DWI case. Neither will this website tell you how to “get off” of a DWI in the future. Please remember, every case is different depending on the facts. Be sure to consult a lawyer for your specific case.
