DON'T LET A PUBLIC INTOXICATION OR
ALCOHOL RELATED ARREST RUIN YOUR LIFE!

Alcohol related arrests such as Drunk in Public, Public Intoxication Underage Drinking, Open Container, DWI, Public Urination, Possession of Marijuana, or Fake ID to buy beer can lead to dire consequences for your future. The laws in Texas have been changed to provide almost no relief for adults who suffered a criminal convitiction when they were students or young adults.

An arrest and conviction -- even for a minor arrest such as underage drinking or drunk in public -- can haunt an individual for years. Even with a Lawyer, Expunction (or clearing your criminal record) is UNAVAILABLE once a conviction is placed on your record.* That means if you plea guilty or are convicted of a crime, it will remain on your criminal record for the rest of your life. A Lawyer or Attorney cannot clear a conviction.
