Driving while intoxicated, or DWI, can be a very serious charge in Texas. Metroplex law enforcement agencies are very strict on suspected drunk drivers because they want to eliminate the possible danger of an impaired driver on the road. If you are pulled over by a police officer or other law enforcement officer and you are found by breath or blood test to have a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08% or over, you will be charged with DWI. However, you need to also be aware of the fact that if any officer suspects that you are impaired while driving, you can be pulled over and cited for DWI if you have any amount of blood alcohol concentration at all.
