Severity of Texas DUI Laws

Sunday, September 25th, 2011

Many Americans travel each and every year all over the country to survey and get a feel for the country that they truly live in. From state to state, people view all over the natural wonders of each state, eat the cultural cuisine of each location, and sight see known, or popular locations. However, many people do not always have on their mind the law. Laws change from state to state depending upon the issue. Many people make this mistake and do not truly take into account laws from other states, whether or not it is a person’s home or not.

As the saying goes “Don’t Mess With Texas” can truly be said when dealing with Texas and its DUI/DWI laws for public and commercial motorists alike. Texas is said to be one state that an individual would surly not drink and drive within to due the severity of the already present law within the state, which increases as everyday passes.

Usually, Texas law enforcement entities perform the routine examinations that any officer of the law would do. A field sobriety test is performed, a breathalyzer is blown in, and a possible blood or urine sample is taken to determine the blood alcohol content (BAC) levels of a person. From they’re, depending on whether or not a person has been drinking and driving laws come to play.

No matter the age in Texas you can always count on the law to be carried out to its full extent. It is said that the crime committed in Texas will be fitted with the proper punishment, which is followed to the “t”. One example can be seen when a driver who was under the influence killed a Texas police officer. The officer was in his car and hit completely by chance. The driver, at the time, was 19 years old. The accident occurred in 2003, yet the driver of the motor vehicle is still facing financial penalties, as well as requirements by the law everyday.

Overall, one thing that does not mix well with alcohol is driving anything at all. When faced with the option, an individual should always consider relying on a sober individual to do the driving so safety is insured to all on roadways.
