DWI/DUI Law in Texas
Driving while intoxicated (DWI) and driving under the influence (DUI) are two different offenses in Texas. The charge of Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) is made when a person is intoxicated while operating a motor vehicle in a public place. A person is considered "intoxicated" under Texas law if the person is determined to have a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 or more while operating a motor vehicle and/or is impaired by the loss of his/her normal use of mental or physical faculties because of the introduction of alcohol or drugs or a combination of alcohol and drugs. There are several different field sobriety tests that law enforcement use to determine if that level has been reached, and the timing and type of test can greatly influence the results and can lead to innocent people being arrested for DWI.
