Festivals can be a Houston DWI Trap
Fall is a great time of year in and around Houston, Texas. The weather starts to cool down, more people are outdoors, and there are Festivals throughout the city. This weekend was the Greek Festival, next weekend we will have the Bayou City Art Festival, the Renaissance Festival and the Cajun Catfish Festival. The rest of the month Houstonian's will enjoy Festa Italiana, the Cuban Festival, and Oktoberfest. My concern as a Houston DWI Lawyer is the police presence at these events. Yearly, we come across a client that is stopped, detained, and arrested by the police leaving a Fall Festival. The stops usually occur because people are not familar with the area where the events are located. Once the driver is stopped and admits to drinking while at the Festival a battery of subjective field sobriety tests ensue and the rest is history. Please be aware of your surroundings while attending these events in order to avoid a trip to jail.
