DUI Texas Drug & Alcohol Rehab Treatment
The state of Texas is the one state in the US that considers everything bigger than everywhere else. Funny enough, this could also be true for the state DUI laws, and its penalties.
DUI in Texas means Driving While Intoxicated, meaning not having the normal use of your mental and physical abilities due to any form of drug or alcohol use so even for people addicted to drugs it would apply. Every citizen who does receive a license in Texas automatically gives consent for BAC, or Blood Alcohol Content Tests. This means that your blood, breath, and urine can be tested if you are under the suspicion of being under the influence of either drugs or alcohol. The ‘per-se’ law of Texas is, if your blood alcohol content is that of .08%, you can be charged with a criminal offense. This percentage constitutes that of being impaired, and you can also be prosecuted while driving under the influence. This can only happen if you are proven to have been driving in an unsafe manner.
The evidence that can be used is the following:
- Slurred speech
- Blood shot/watery eyes
- Un-balanced co-ordination
- Hazardous driving
- Field sobriety tests
Even if you have not been drinking, but are under the influence of some benign substance or source, you can still be charged, and your license can be subject to automatic license removal.
In the state of Texas, the first time you are charged and convicted of a DUI offense, you will face a $2000 fine and up to 72 hours in jail. You will then have your license suspended for a period of 90 days, and the court will force you to install an ignition interlock device in your vehicle. The second time you are charged with an offense and convicted. You will be fined $4000 and you will face 30 days to one year on jail. Your license will also be suspended for up to two years. The court will also order you to install an ignition interlock device in your vehicle.
Your third offense in the state of Texas when charged and convicted of a DUI offense, will consist of penalties of a $10,000 fine and a minimum of two years in jail, with a chance of being sentenced to ten years in jail. Your license will be suspended for a two year period and you will be ordered by the court to install an ignition interlock device in your car.
