It Just Got Tougher for Drivers in Texas Drunk Driving Accidents

The law just got tougher for drivers involved in Texas drunk driving accidents.  A new Texas DWI law was just enacted that will require a suspected drunken driver to take a blood test without warrant if he or she was involved in a car accident that caused injuries.

According to the new law, if a police officer feels that a driver may be intoxicated and that driver has children in the car or a history of DWI offenses, the officer can mandate a blood alcohol test.  Before this law was passed, it was estimated that about half of Texas drivers suspected of drunk driving refused blood or breath tests.

Thousands of people die every year in Texas car accidents and many of these collisions are caused by drunk drivers.  Hopefully this new law will crack down on drunk drivers and prevent future drunk driving accidents in Texas.
