Question. In Texas, can you be drinking in your parked, car on the passenger side, with the keys in the glove-box and not get a DUI? I know y'all probably site me for PI but not a DUI? Many thanks  SignaturePeople that speed don't kill People. Idiot sloths kill people. PS. I'm not asking for advise for a legal matter, It's just for my own good :-) Ooops..that makes it sound like i drink and drive..no i do not drink and drive. sorry for the confusion.

Correct, since you have to be driving to get a DWI in Texas, have witness statements putting you behind the wheel, or some other affirmative link to the operation of a vehicle while intoxicated. > I know y'all probably site me for PI but not a DUI? It all depends on the circumstances. Signature--- jaybird --- I am not the cause of your problems. My actions are the result of your actions. Your life is not my fault.

I take it there is no "open container," law in TX? Signature"My tars have been bald for two years.

Yep. We have that too, but it doesn't apply to the poster's original questions. It is an enhancement to the offense of DWI and/or citable on it's own.

I dare anyone who doesn't believe me to try it. > Question. > In Texas, can you be drinking in your parked, car on the passenger side, [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Many thanks Nope - you're DUI if you're drinking in your car, keys or no keys, engine or no engine. It used to be reasonable there - you could actually DRINk while you were driving as long as you weren't drunk. Now MADD has taken over. 420 - approximate number of times I drove past MADD headquarters while legally drunk. |
