Texas has a .08 blood alcohol limit.
However, if someone is driving as if he is impaired, the person can be arrested as being under the influence, even with a BAC less than .08.
Good luck!

Remember, driving and drinking is not a crime at least not for adults. To be charged with a DUI or DWI due to the influence of alcohol, your BAC (Blood Alcohol Content) has to be .08 or .20, depending on which state you are in. In order to protect your rights and save your license from suspension/revocation, the first thing you should sincerely do is to contact an expert drunk driving lawyer. There are fair chances that your DUI or DWI charges may get dismissed soon.
Drunk driving laws differ from state to state and are getting stiffer day by day. Some of the consequences of drunk driving are:
* Fines/penalty
* Your insurance premiums could triple
* Automatic License Suspension
* Jail Time
* Permanent Criminal Record
* Loss of Employment Opportunity
* Impairment, etc.
Failure to exercise your rights after being caught drunk driving is the biggest mistake you can make. The law enforcement authorities may try to prove you are guilty. Do not provide them the opportunity to do so. If you are facing this problem, then I would recommend you to submit your issue in the following website and a lawyer will contact you within 24hrs. Don't worry about their charges, Its only $1/day. I think this you can afford. Here is the link

BAC limit in Texas is the same as much of the U.S.; .08.
It depends on your sex, height and weight and if you have had anything to eat directly beforehand as to what will put you over the limit; for larger men, it could be 4 drinks in an hour an for a woman under 100lbs could be less than one.
As one answerer indicated above, if the driving is impaired for any reason (ex: running a stop sign) and the person has any BAC, they may be charged with and OWI, the same as a DWI.

It is illegal in Texas to drive with a BAC that is 0.08 or higher.
My friend was caught drunk driving has a dui. Doesn't have a driver license anymore and can no longer see his son without supervision.

Face it. Obey the law and law officers because they are there to enforce the law for common good. Escaping will only aggravate the violation by chasing you .

Yeah?
They were caught? Just like Paris HIlton.......and they didn't blubber up like a rubber doll when they were dragged off.
As they should be!
Breath Alcohol......isn't it the same everywhere? .08?
I don't drive and drink, so I don't know...(holier than though me)..(smile)
