What is the name of your state? TX
I was arrested for public intoxication and resisting arrest. I was just offered deffered probation for a year from the prosecuting attorney. I have a COURT APPOINTED ATTORNEY who thinks i should take this offer.He says if I dont take his offer the state may try to file another charge of DWI. Can the state do this? I was never charged with DWI to begin with. Upon reviewing my tape its shows nothing of my car and me waiting for a ride outside of a bar which isnt on the tape. At no point was I in my car except to grab my cellphone to call for a ride.. The car was not on... I guess my question is can the state file additional charges after I was arrested for something completely different?
