What is the name of your state? tx
I was arrested in March of this year for DWI. I had some prescription pills that I have taken on and off for many years and a new one that is not a narcotic but I guess made me a little off. I very lightly hit two cars which has long since been settled no injuries. To make it worse it was on my kids school property. i am chaged with a misdameanor. I allowed a blood draw and the results are not back. I obtained a lawyer who I paid 2,500.00 to and after seeing the video says it is a no brainer to go to court. I was completely coherant and had extensive conversation with the officer during the entire ordeal which is on video. I have NEVER been in ANY trouble even as much as a speeding ticket in my life. It was very heavy rains that morning. My attorney is well respected, however, wants an additional 7,500.00 to go to trial. I do not know what to do. The only thing that could possibly come out of the blood draw is what I have legitimate prescriptions for and have been using on and off for half my life due to surgeries, etc...
I would like to know what is the normal procedure in TX for first time and no priors for anything.
thank you!
