Do you know that Texas law does not criminalize driving while drunk unless the intoxication impairs your mental or physical abilities?
The law enforcement officers in most cases rely on field sobriety tests to decide whether or not to arrest and charge you with DUI or DWI.
Jim Butler believes that these field sobriety tests do not give the right picture of intoxication. As an example, when the test is performed while you are nervous or tired, or suffer from a medical condition which impairs your balance, you may fail the test while in reality, you are not intoxicated. DWI is a serious offense and after being arrested, you need to consult an attorney who specializes in defending such cases. The consequences of conviction with DWI can be very severe, and they include having your driving license suspended or revoked, falling out with family, losing your job and may even be incarcerated.

Mr. Butler is very highly experienced in handling and dealing with DUI and DWI cases so you should not hesitate to contact him today. Should the levels of alcohol in the blood exceed the minimum level of .8 before you can be charged with DWI? The direct answer to this question is NO. The law does not require that the levels of alcohol in the blood in your blood must be ‘high’ to qualify for DWI charge. Law enforcement can rightly arrest and decide to charge you for traffic offense if through observation he or she comes to the conclusion that your ability to drive is impaired. Here are some cases where you can be charged with DUI and DWI even without necessarily being subjected to test to determine whether you are intoxicated or driving under influence.
- Unusual swerving of your vehicle
- Inability to keep your car in its lane.
- Being about to cause or get involved in an accident.
- Applying instant brakes.
- Turning right at a stop sign or red light without first stopping the car completely (also known as rolling stop)
- Driving unnecessarily too cautiously or too slowly.
- Turning very narrowly or very widely.
- Inability to control vehicle such that it drifts sideways in the road.
Upon conviction with DWI or DUI offense, there are various possible consequences. First, you may lose all the privileges of driving for the period between 90 days and two years. If you are a holder of commercial driving license and do not subject yourself to a breath test, there could be revocation of commercial driving status for up to 12 months. Ordinarily, when an officer arrests you of DWI or DUI, they will take your license then a special temporary permit will be issued and may be accompanied by suspension notice.
In such a case, you should request the matter be heard within 15 days failure to which the license will be suspended automatically within 40 days from the day when you were arrested.
