DWI with Child
If you are pulled over and arrested for DWI with a minor in the car, you will have additional complications. Buck Johnson is experienced in these situations and can assist you with both your DWI and your child’s custody case.
Intoxication Assault
Intoxication assault is defined by a DWI resulting in the injury of third party. This can be another driver, a public bystander, or even a passenger in the accused’s own vehicle. Intoxication assault is a third-degree felony with a few penalties. Learn more about DWI Felony Charges
Intoxication Manslaughter
Under Texas law, a person commits intoxication manslaughter if he or she operates a motor vehicle, aircraft, watercraft, or amusement ride in a public place while intoxicated, and causes the death of another by accident or mistake because of being intoxicated.
In both cases of intoxication assault and intoxication manslaughter, prosecutors will likely also pursue all penalties attached to a DWI arrest. This means they will be compounding the final penalties if found guilty. Learn more about DWI Felony Charges
Possession of a Controlled Substance
Substances such as cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine are obviously illegal. Possessing these substances if you don’t have a valid prescription is a crime. If you are found to have a controlled substance in your possession and do not have a valid prescription, you are charged with possession of a controlled substance.
Possession of Marijuana
Marijuana is NOT LEGAL in Texas. Despite what you might have heard, possession of marijuana is not legal in Texas. This applies to not only marijuana itself, but also to any substance that contains marijuana. Possession of marijuana in an amount less than 2 ounces is a Class B Misdemeanor. However, possession of any other substance that contains THC, is a Felony in Texas. The level felony depends on the total weight of the substance possessed.
