If you've been cited for a DUI/DWI, you know the feeling of helplessness that accompanies that charge. The laws all over the country are extremely harsh against driving drunk, and Texas is no exception. Like any charge brought to court, evidence will be presented against you, and that is precisely where having a good Dallas DUI/DWI Lawyer during your Texas Drunk Driving case comes into play. The evidence the courts are using to prosecute you for a DUI/DWI may not be as potent as you might think.

Standard Evidence
Many people don't know it, but the old standards that the police use to prove someone is drunk are not necessarily accurate in all cases. For example, if a police officer has a person do the one-legged stand, this drill has been proven to only be 65% effective in
determining intoxication. That is not the strongest evidence, and you may be among the 35% of people that this test is ineffective for.

Poor evidence and failure on the part of the arresting officer to do their jobs correctly, can result in you getting a DUI/DWI that you did not deserve. Of course to get into the details and prove these kinds of things, you need a good Dallas DUI/DWI Lawyer, one who knows all of the intricacies about Texas Drunk Driving laws.

Don't assume that just because you were cited for a DUI/DWI, that you are necessarily going to be proven guilty in a court of law. With the lawyers at Peveto Law on your side, you can contest, and may be able to ultimately win your court case. Don't assume you will be found guilty before your hearing takes place, get a knowledgeable pro on your side.

 
Texas does not condone or ignore public intoxication Dallas and it is important to be aware of criteria for a conviction and the consequences of being found guilty of this offense.
 
This offense is defined as acting disorderly in a public place due the abuse of alcohol or another substance such that you are a nuisance or that your acts and behavior put the life of another person or yourself in danger.  If you are drunk in public and the police see the behavior, you will likely be given a ticket and charged with a class C misdemeanor. If you are arrested, you will most likely not be able to leave jail for at least 6 hours (they are allowed to keep you for 4 to 12 hours) as the police wait for your blood alcohol level to drop so you can get home safely. In addition you can be fined as much as $500.

A class C misdemeanor is roughly the same as when you are given a speeding ticket, although it does look a bit worse on your record and may affect your future job prospects. If you don’t want to be booked for public intoxication Dallas, it is best to keep your alcohol consumption under control; otherwise you may be penalized if you are caught.
