What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
I'm currently on personal bond for my 2nd DWI. I got in a little bit of a hurry tonight and failed to wash all of the mouthwash out of my mouth before blowing into the interlock device. Usually I wash my mouth out 2-3 times before blowing into it. This time I only did it once. Apparently it wasn't enough. It registered a violation to my surprise and told me to retest in 30 minutes. I went into the house and washed my mouth with water, came back out about 35-40 minutes later and blew a successful test. I called the pretrial services and left a message explaining the failure. I called and left another message when I received a successful. My question is, what are the ramifications of the violation? This was never explained by anyone to me when I received the device. One of my friend said she used to work for a lady who's interlock device would throw violations all the time. What should I expect? Will I go to jail because of this violation?
