Public Intox Attorney Houston – Spending an evening out after work or to celebrate an occasion is a perfectly unsurprising diversion for most people. But it might be a surprise to find oneself arrested after having a few drinks during such an event in a public location (e.g. a bar or restaurant) or venturing into public from a private location (e.g. a private residence). In the state of Texas, that is exactly what could happen to you if law enforcement officers assess that you might be under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Knowing where Texas stands on the issue of public intoxication is key to avoiding an arrest or fighting a charge if you are arrested.
