Do not make your DWI arrest even worse.

A Houston DWI arrest has many consequences.  For example, you could use lose your drivers license, your insurance rates may increase, and in Texas surcharges may be assessed.   The last thing you want to do is make matters worse by trying to steal a police officer's car like someone tried to do last week.  The police could decide to charge the person with DWI and also theft.  In the above scenario the person could be charged with a felony since the vehicle is likely to be worth over $1500.

DWI arrest

In Texas,  the state may prove that is a person is intoxicated one of three ways.  They must prove that the person has lost the normal use of their mental or physical faculties or that their blood alcohol level is above .08.  Do not assist the state by doing something like is mentioned above. In fact, try to do as little as possible.  The best thing is just to be polite, and allow the police officer do his job while you say as little as possible.  Keep in mind that you have the right to remain silent whenever you are being investigated by the police.
