Did you know that you could get a DWI if you are taking prescription medications.
Yes, that is because of the DWI statute and it’s wording. The statute reads
“Intoxicated” means:
(A) not having the normal use of mental or physical faculties by reason of the introduction of alcohol, a controlled substance, a drug, a dangerous drug, a combination of two or more of those substances, or any other substance into the body; or
(B) having an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more.
So it is not just alcohol that causes someone to get a DWI, it can be marijuana because it can impair the “normal use of mental or physical faculties.”
If you are in Corpus Christi and have received a DWI but weren’t drinking but had prescription drugs in your system call our law firm 361-792-3811.
