    • Searcy & Gandy: Criminal Cases and the Standard of Proof In order to win a case, you have to prove it by meeting certain requirements or "standards." In a criminal case, the prosecution must prove guilt "beyond a reasonable doubt." This is the most stringent standard because the consequences of a conviction can result in deprivation of liberty (jail). Meaning of "Reasonable Doubt" While not requiring absolute certainty, a juror must be persuaded that the amount of proof is such that he or she would be willing to rely on it without hesitation and with an abiding conviction. It is interesting to note that several years ago the U.S. Supreme Court struck the phrase "...and with a moral certainty," from the reasonable doubt instruction. If the juror has a doubt that is based on reason or common sense after impartial consideration of all the evidence presented, the prosecution has failed to meet the requisite burden of proof (reasonable doubt).

    • Douglas Atkinson: Texas penalties for driving while intoxicated (DWI) are very severe and can have a lasting impact on your life. If you have been arrested for DWI, or a related alcohol offense, you may be facing jail time, large fines, loss of driving privileges, and expensive driveršs license surcharge fees. A DWI conviction may also result in devastating consequences such as the loss of your job, the loss of your commercial license, inability to find a job, insurance rate increases, and strains in your personal life. If you have been charged with DWI or any other alcohol related offense you should immediately contact an experienced Montgomery County DWI attorney. The only way to prevent a DWI arrest from affecting your life is by hiring a qualified DWI lawyer to fight for you.

    • Steve Jackson: Drunk driving cases start out with a contact between the driver of a motor vehicle and a police officer. While the police have the right to approach and speak with any citizen, they do not have the right to detain and investigate a citizen unless they have "probable cause." Probable cause is the legal reason an officer needs to detain and investigate. If the dui attorney can show to the judge the officer did not have probable cause, the drunk driving case can be dismissed.

    • Guy Williams:

      Texas DWI laws are tough and conviction for DWI in Texas carries tough penalties. Conviction for DWI, even a first offense, can result in:

      • Large Fines
      • Court Costs
      • Court-Ordered Alcohol Treatment
      • Mandatory AA Attendance
      • Probation
      • Jail Time

      A DWI charge can result from being stopped by police and registering .08 or more on a Breathalyzer, or refusing to submit to the breath test. In either instance, your driver’s license will be suspended, and you can be criminally charged with DWI. 

      The ramifications of an administrative suspension of your license are serious. First, you lose your ability to drive even before your DWI hearing. That can affect your personal life and your job if you cannot drive to work. Secondly, allowing your license to be suspended without a fight could be a mistake. A conviction for a traffic related offense can have dire consequences. Professional drivers can lose their Commercial Driver's Licenses (CDL) under Texas law for even a single moving violation.

    • F. Lakhani: Most of us who drive know we must have insurance on our automobiles, but not all of us know what this insurance does and does not cover. The following is a basic overview of the kinds of insurance commonly offered in Texas, what each different kind of insurance covers, and some basic points every automobile owner should consider.
    • Randall Barrera: If you are accused of drunk driving (DWI) in Texas, you only have 15 days from the day your license is suspended to challenge to revocation.  You must act quickly to schedule an automatic license revocation (ALR) hearing.

    • David Lamb: If you've been charged with a DUI/DWI, recognize that you have only a 15-day window from the date of arrest to challenge or postpone mandatory license suspension.

    • Martin & Lamb:

      If you have received a drunk driving charge, it is important to contact a lawyer who is knowledgeable about Texas DWI law right away.

      Many people do no realize that they should retain a lawyer when they have been arrested for drunk driving on I-45, or any Texas roadway. Law enforcement officers rarely suggest it, and the courts do not encourage it. If you have been accused of DWI, you have the same rights as anyone else who has been arrested.

      If you have been charged with DWI (or a DUI if the driver is under 17), you have 15 days in which to request an administrative hearing. If you do not request a hearing, your license will be suspended automatically.

      A DWI can have a significant impact on your life. If your license is suspended or revoked, you may be unable to get to and from your job. Martin & Lamb assists clients who have been arrested on I-45 in obtaining occupational drivers' licenses. These are restricted drivers' licenses that are granted to people convicted of DWI, or people arrested for DWI. If you have been charged with or convicted of drunk driving, this allows you to continue driving to and from work or school.

      A DWI charge may also result in an annual "surcharge" for your drivers' license. This surcharge is $1000 a year for 3 years for a first time offender; $1500 a year for 3 years for a second offense, and $2000 a year for three years for a third offense.
