Texas DWI Blood Test Issues

Marijuana Possession in Fort Worth

Yet police, and district attorneys regularly claim that "voluntary encounters" occurred just because the officer never activated his overhead lights.

North Texas Specialty Courts & other Specialty Courts: Veterans Court, First Responders Court, DWI courts, Drug Courts, Diversion Courts
