DWI & Drugs: Serious Charges in Houston

Have you been charged with DWI when you had not been drinking alcohol? This can happen. If you were stopped and subjected to a FST (Field Sobriety Test) and breath test which showed no discernible amount of alcohol in your system, the officer may conclude that your driving is impaired by another substance and charge you with DWI. Even though you had had no alcohol, under the law, if an officer decides that your physical or mental abilities were impaired at the time of the stop, you will need a Houston criminal defense attorney to fight aggressively for you.

DWI Defense Attorney and Drug Charges

Drug related DWI arrests are very common in the Houston area. Officers look for slow reaction time, confusion, lack of focus, indications of difficulties in balancing or other evidence of physical impairment. A charge of DWI due to any controlled substance including a legal prescription or over the counter remedy is just as serious and the consequences are just as severe. The best thing to do is say nothing to the police until you have obtained legal representation and advice of an attorney who has a reputation for successfully defending clients accused of driving while impaired.
