Houston DWI Attorney
It’s unfortunate that many of the individuals who are charged with drunk driving are good people just like you who are being falsely accused or just made an honest mistake. People of all types are charged with DWI – teachers, doctors, moms and dads, and even other lawyers. Because of the potential damage that can be caused while driving under the influence, the law in Texas has become tough on drinking and driving.
However, as the laws are becoming more and more harsh, it is not illegal to drive a vehicle after drinking alcohol in Texas. Arrests are issued based on how much alcohol is consumed and how impaired that person appears to be to the police officers. As soon as you’re arrested, the clock starts ticking on securing your ability to continue driving and avoiding possible jail time. Whether or not the police officer who made the arrest did his job correctly can often determine a conviction, and that’s where the help of an attorney is crucial.
