What Is The Legal Definition Of Intoxication?

Posted By Plano DWI Lawyer on Apr 7, 2011 8:35am PDT
What is the legal definition of intoxication in Texas? 

The legal definition of intoxication in Texas is:

(1) Not having the normal use of mental faculties by reason of the introduction of alcohol, a controlled substance, a drug, a dangerous drug, combination of two or more of those substances, or any other substances into the body; OR 

(2) Not having the normal use of physical faculties by reason of the introduction of alcohol, a controlled substance, a drug, a dangerous drug, combination of two or more of those substances, or any other substances into the body; OR 

(3) Having an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more. 

Remember, the prosecutor only needs to prove one of the three ways to obtain a conviction. If there is no breath or blood test and the person has the normal use of their mental and physical faculties a jury is required to find the person NOT GUILTY.

If you or a loved one have been charged with DWI, or any other intoxication-related offense, contact a Plano DWI lawyer today to protect your rights.
