Dallas Intoxication Lawyer - Questions

Can you be considered "intoxicated" and given a DWI for anything other than alcohol?

Yes. The legal definition of DWI allows for other drugs that may make the individual not "normal." The legal definition states that intoxication can be from the introduction of alcohol, a drug, a dangerous drug, or any other substance that causes an individual to drive in a manner that is not "normal." Thus, even a prescribed medication can cause you to be considered intoxicated!
