Get A Ride To Avoid A Drunk Driving Charge In Houston

Houston has a lot of great qualities but public transportation wouldn't make the top ten list of good things about Houston. If you plan on going anywhere in Houston you are probably going to have to drive.

It seems recently  that we have had an uptick of clients who have hired us after having been arrested for driving while intoxicated on Washington Avenue. If you've even had one drink, I wouldn't suggest going near Washington Avenue if you are driving. Either choose a designated driver or call a cab. Another alternative would be to hire a shuttle service. A shuttle service called the Washington Wave advertises a shuttle up and down the bars on Washington and Midtown. I am not affiliated with the company nor endorse them, as I have never used them, but the concept seems like a great idea.

The bottom line is, if you live in Houston, figure out a safe and responsible plan for transportation when you are making plans to hit the town. The alternative may be an arrest leading to a dwi.

The Scottish Field Sobriety Test For a DWI We Will Not See In Houston

Over the years there have been many field sobriety tests used to determine if someone is intoxicated.  Currently,  Houston police officers typically use three tests called the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus, walk and turn, and the one leg stand when investigating a DWI in Houston.  My Scottish in laws where kind enough to share their straightforward test to determine if someone is intoxicated..  I think everyone would agree that the man in the video is a wee bit intoxicated.
