Dallas Increases Police Presence During New Year’s Holiday

According to a statement released by the Dallas police department, drivers on city streets and highways should expect to see a heightened police presence during the New Year’s holiday. From December 31st to January 3rd, patrols will include all available troopers to help watch for speeding, traffic violations, and intoxicated drivers.

Authorities are looking to help minimize the number of traffic accidents, including injury and fatality accidents during the holiday season. If you are celebrating with alcohol this holiday season, it is important to designate a sober driver to transport you home, or arrange for alternate transportation to protect yourself and others on the road.

If you have been charged with DWI, contact the Dallas DWI attorney Mark T. Lassiter at 214-457-1668 to discuss your legal options.

Judge’s DWI Case Dropped

A DWI case against a state district judge has been dropped by the special prosecutor appointed to the case. The case has been dropped apparently due to insufficient evidence.

The special prosecutor, a DWI defense attorney from San Antonio, asked to have the case dropped after he viewed a video taken roughly an hour after the arrest. According to the prosecutor, the judge was clearly not intoxicated in the video. He felt that if the case had gone to court, the verdict would have been not-guilty.

In addition to the inconclusive video, the judge refused to take a breathalyzer. The charges were the result of a February traffic stop. 

If you have been accused of a DWI, contact Irving DWI defense lawyer Mark T. Lassiter at 214-456-1668 to discuss your situation.
