Q: I had a 2nd DWI In Texas. Officer got a warrant for blood after I refused both. Blood came back .173.
A security guard at a dealership called the police they came and I was asleep at a stop light car running, In gear, vomit on myself, and they noted my “bar bracelet”. I have researched everything upon everything for the matter as it is my 2nd mistake and I wanted to take it to trial but it would’ve costed $6000 more than the $4000 I already paid. As much as I wanted to try to fight it, I felt it’d be fighting a losing battle and paying for nothing. Either plead guilty and start 2 years probation now or wait a 1+ years for a trial to be found guilty and face jail or probation then. What does someone think? Even if the motion to suppress the blood takes the blood draw away we still have all other factors against me too. Either way it is too late I told them I would just have to plead. I had hoped for a more favorable outcome I know I am lucky to be alive and didn’t hurt anyone but it still sucks. I’m only 28 facing my 2nd conviction.
