Driving under the Influence of Drugs

Can I be arrested for DWI if I wasn’t drinking any alcohol?

Yes. In Texas, you can be arrested and charged with Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) due to intoxication by drugs - including both illegal drugs and legally-prescribed medication. These cases are prosecuted in criminal courts just like alcohol-related DWI cases are. However, because there is no “legal limit” for DWI with Drugs like the 0.08 BAC standard for DWI with alcohol, proving actual intoxication can be challenging for the prosecution.

Can I be arrested for DWI if I have a valid prescription for the drugs?

Yes. Many people are surprised to learn that you can be arrested and charged with Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) even if you have a valid prescription for the drugs or medication that allegedly caused “intoxication.”

Can my driver’s license be suspended for DWI due to Drugs?

Yes. If you were arrested for suspicion of Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) due to drugs, DPS may still try to suspend your driver’s license. Immediate action will need to be taken, so it’s in your best interest to contact an experienced DWI Attorney.
