New Texas DWI Crime Unlikely

It looks like the proposed DWI law (Driving While Impaired) is unlikely to make it very far.  I had mentioned all the potential legal consequences associated with the proposal in an earlier blog.  Texas State Senator Whitemire calls it a form of prohibition.  Most telling, it is not part of the Mothers Against Drunk Drivers (MADD) legislative agenda.  While MADD will not go as far as stating that they oppose it they are clear that they do not support the proposal.  Perhaps, MADD members are more human than I thought and do enjoy a drink with their dinner.
