In Texas, a DWI offense occurs when a person is suspected to be intoxicated while operating a motor vehicle in a public place. What is “intoxicated” is the next question most people have for the purposes of Texas DWI law. Intoxicated means that you have lost the normal use of your mental or physical faculties due to the introduction of chemicals. It could be drugs, alcohol, or a combination of drugs and alcohol. It could also be having a blood alcohol or breath alcohol concentration of 0.08 or above. Even if your blood alcohol content is not above the legal limit, you can still be considered intoxicated. Under Texas law, if a police officer determines that you have lost the normal use of your mental or physical faculties due to the introduction of chemical substances, you will be arrested.
Police officers determine the question of intoxication or impairment through what are known as standardized field sobriety tests, which are a set of three tests set out by the National Traffic Highway Safety Administration. The tests consist of a one leg stand, a walk and turn test, and a horizontal gaze Nystagmus test. In addition, there are observations that the officer makes when he pulls you over, including whether he smells alcohol. They use a totality of circumstances when determining whether you are intoxicated and whether you should be arrested.
