DWI mobile van turning one this weekend

I wanted to acknowledge that the Houston, Harris County DWI mobile van turns one on Halloween. Last year a lot of fanfare was made about the way this vehicle was going to change how a DWI is handled in Houston, Harris County Texas. Ironically, the District Attorney's Office has not made an announcement that the van will be out this weekend. Perhaps, it is because that they have come to the conclusion that it does not help make any more arrests when it is used. In fact, the last time the mobile was used was during the Labor Day weekend and the numbers show that it was a typical weekend for DWI arrests in Houston with less than 200 of them made. As a Houston DWI lawyer I have not seen my practice change because of the implantation of the DWI van.
