Public Intoxication
The Texas Penal Code defines public intoxication as follows: A person commits the offense of Public Intoxication if the person appears in a public place while intoxicated to the degree that the person may be a danger to themselves or others. The elements that the state must prove are as follows:
1. A person.
2. That was in a public place.
3. That person was intoxicated.
4. The person was intoxicated to the degree that they may be a danger to themselves or others.
"Public place" within the meaning of the public intoxication statute is defined as any place to which the public or substantial group of the public has access, and includes but is not limited to streets, highways, and common areas of schools, hospitals, apartment houses, official buildings, transportation facilities, and shops, and a place may be a public one or not according to the circumstances. V.T.C.A., Penal Code §§ 1.07(a)(29), 42.08(a).
One common question is what if an intoxicated person is in their own front yard? If a person is sitting in their own front yard, is that considered a public place according to the public intoxication statute? The state could argue that yes, "a place may be a public one or not according to the circumstances." How you might ask? Well, does a mail man have access to the front door of your house? Or how about a pizza delivery person? Would you call the police if someone walked across your front lawn? Would you be upset if a member of the general public walked up to your front door without being invited?
The truth is that most of us would allow certain people onto our property under limited circumstances as stated above, but would you allow "the public or a substantial group of the public in to your front yard"? I would argue that the public or a substantial group of the public does not have a right to come onto my front porch.
The Texas Penal code defines "Intoxicated" as not having the normal use of mental or physical faculties by reason of the introduction of alcohol, a controlled substance, a drug, a dangerous drug, a combination of two or more of those substances, or any other substance into the body; or having an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more. Intoxication alone is not enough to convict a person in Texas for public intoxication. In order to have public intoxication, not only must someone be "intoxicated," but they must be "intoxicated" to the degree that they may be a danger to themselves or others.
If someone gets arrested or ticketed for Public Intoxication in Travis County or anywhere in Austin, Texas they may go to one of several different courts to fight their case.
1. The Downtown Austin Community Court: if a person is arrested in downtown Austin, (6th street), the warehouse district, and possibly as far away as west campus you are likely going to the downtown Austin community court.
2. Austin Municipal Court
3. Travis County Justice of the Peace precinct 1
4. Travis County Justice of the Peace precinct 2
5. Travis County Justice of the Peace precinct 3
6. Travis County Justice of the Peace precinct 4
7. Travis County Justice of the Peace precinct 5

Bounty Hunters
When you are arrested, you are taken to jail and booked into a holding cell to wait for a judge to see you. When you are ready to go to your hearing, you need an Austin jail release lawyer who can help you to find the cheapest way possible to get out of jail. The judge will set a bail amount will most likely set a bail amount that you can afford which means you will have to get a bail bondsman to come and loan you the money to get you out of jail.
When the bail bondsman loans you the money, they will require certain restrictions before they will just give you a large check. They will usually require that you sign an affidavit stating that you will come back to your assigned court date to see the judge. This is where the bounty hunting comes into play.
A Bounty Hunter is a person who is hired by a bail bondsman to make sure that a certain person comes to their trial date. Legally bounty hunters are allowed to use their sweeping rights to recover the person who may have run away. A bail bondsman has used their own money to pay the bail for someone to get out of jail. The person who got out of jail has a legally binding contract with the bail bondsman to appear on their trial date. If they attempt to leave town or run away from the bail bondsman, the bondsman has a legal right to track them down and bring them back with the use of a bounty hunter. The act of leaving town and not showing up at their court date is called jumping bail. Because all of these facts are stated in the contract, legally there is nothing that the offender can do to stop the bounty hunter. The person signed the contract so they are lawfully expected to hold up their end of the contract.
The bounty hunter works for the bondsman, and therefore is paid by the bondsman. Every bounty hunter receives a certain percentage of the amount of bail you have to pay back to the bondsman. There are still some states in the US that have laws prohibiting bounty hunting. Other states just have requirements as to what the bounty hunter needs to have done before they can become a bounty hunter. In California, all bounty hunters must have a clean background check before they can become one.

Big Fish White-Collar Offenders
It used to be that white-collar crime was an occasional, rather unusual kind of event, that people found shameful. Now, with the advent of the computer and other high tech software, programs, etc., the whole landscape of white-collar crime has changed. Computers have made things much easier for those with a criminal mind to fiddle with the books and other things.
Despite the fact that white-collar crime seems to be easier to commit, those who commit it are, by law, entitled to a well thought out criminal defense. They must be accorded that benefit of the doubt, as it is a very basic law of the Constitution that those who stand accused of crimes must be considered to be innocent until they are proven guilty.
White-collar crimes are mostly non-violent and usually involve the use of deception or trickery by a person who is in a position of trust and authority. What usually makes a white-collar crime slightly easier to track is the presence of a paper trail, or an electronic trail that investigators follow to the eventual "end" with the smoking gun. The problem is that just because a certain smoking gun may be an executive's computer, it does not prove it was "that" executive who committed the trickery.
Further controversy swirls around the actual definition of white-collar crime, with many advocating that it should be defined by the status or occupation of trust the offender has. On the other hand, there is another school of thought that feels white-collar crime needs to be delineated by the offense committed - e.g. racketeering, perjury, computer fraud, etc. Actually, the bottom line would not be the definition of the crime, but whether or not the accused has access to a good criminal defense lawyer.
White-collar crime has nowhere to go but up, thanks to the Internet, which has created a whole new playground for economic crimes to be perpetrated. Apprehension in these instances is usually quite difficult, and proving a particular person is guilty becomes a whole different proposition. If you feel you have been wrongly accused of a white-collar crime, or are about to be charged with one, contact a criminal defense lawyer with experience in this area. That one phone call may keep you out of jail.

Types of Bail Bonds
If you have gotten arrested and need to get a bond to get you or a family member out of jail, you need to know what kinds of bonds are available and the details of each one.
The first type of bond is a personal recognizance bond or a PR bond. This type of bond can be very good for first time offenders with no prior record of any kind. This is basically a personal agreement that you will still show up on the court date you were assigned. A judge will often accept this type of bond for a first time offender who doesn't seem to be a flight risk. You are required to sign a piece of paper that agrees to everything they tell you about your court date and not leaving town. This contract often includes a few other items that the court will discuss with you before you have to sign. After you sign, you are free to go.
For those who have no prior offenses, I would suggest going toward this type of bond because then you would not have to pay a large sum to the court.
The next type of bond is a cash bond. This type of bond is pretty straight forward but is not always for everyone. A cash bond is just paying the bail amount in full in cash. Usually there are not many people that can afford to pay for their bail with cash so this bond isn't used by all people. Some of the different courthouses will offer an option for paying by credit card or even by check, depending on what courthouse it is.
This bond can be very helpful for those that have enough money to take care of the bail amount.
The last type of bond is a Surety or Bail Bond. This type of bond can be a little complicated. If you cannot afford a cash bond, then you have to go to a bail bondsman. A bail Bondsman is a person who will loan you the money for your hearing for a certain amount of money. Your outside source will have to go find a bail bondsman and then sign the paperwork. The bail bondsman will also have to bring the paperwork to you so you can sign it as well. This signature is basically saying that on the date you were assigned by the court, you will come back and appear at your assigned time. This is also a kind of guarantee that you won't leave town or fail to appear at your court date.
For those who are considered a flight risk, this is probably going to be the option you have to turn to.

Texas DWI Attorney and the Case
A Texas DWI attorney has to gather evidences in order to defend his client in the court. Evidence can be in the form of pictures, videos or a statement by an eyewitness. To make the task of a DWI attorney easier, clients should give correct details. Any wrong information on your part can have a negative impact on the preparation of the DWI case.
If in the middle of your case, if your attorney realizes that it is going to be real tough winning the case, he can modify his strategy. As there is severe punishment associated with being drunk while driving, the attorney makes sure that your punishment gets reduced.
When charged in Texas, you are going to be arrested immediately and your driving license also gets suspended. As soon as you hire a DWI attorney, he will appeal in the court for your bail. In the first court hearing, your attorney will request to the court that you should be given temporary access to your driving license. The attorney will also play a prominent part in making sure that you do not pay huge sum of money in the form of fine.
To defend his client, an attorney has to cross check the facts and figures, which are filed by the law enforcement officer. He or she also needs to question the eyewitnesses of your case because they are the one who can make or break the DWI cases. If your Texas DWI attorney manages to prove that eyewitness is not sure about your involvement in the case, you will get the benefit of doubt from the court.

Legal Help for DWI
Legal Help for DWI
Getting legal help for DWI situations is something everyone should consider if they are arrested for driving under the influence. Since DWI is a criminal offense, the penalties can be severe and really impact the quality of your life in a negative way. You may think hiring a DUI attorney is too expensive, but think about it in terms of your life. Instead of thinking of it as an investment, think of getting legal help for DWI as an investment in your future. If you don't work with a DWI attorney, you may be convicted of a criminal offense and sentenced to jail time, fines, probation, and other penalties. If you do work with a DWI attorney, you'll have an experienced legal professional working with you to help you win your case. Even though your attorney can't promise you a successful outcome, getting legal help for DWI cases is the best way to handle your defense.
Legal Help for DWI - Physical Impairment Cases
One of the ways a prosecutor can handle a DWI case is by choosing to focus on your physical impairment at the time of your arrest. Being physically impaired means you were unable to safely operate a motor vehicle at the time of your arrest. When the prosecutor handles a case based on physical impairment, s/he will try to show that you were impaired at the time of your arrest. Law enforcement officers or other witnesses may testify about your driving habits, behavior, and appearance at the time you were pulled over on suspicion of DWI. Your performance on field sobriety tests may also be introduced to show that you lacked the motor and mental skills necessary to safely operate a motor vehicle. Getting legal help for DWI when the prosecutor is focusing on your physical impairment is very important.
Legal Help for DWI - Per Se DWI Cases
Another way a prosecutor can handle a DWI case is by focusing on the results of chemical testing done after your arrest on a DWI charge. The theory behind a per se charge of DWI is that having a blood alcohol concentration level that exceeds a certain limit means you were driving under the influence, regardless of whether you showed any signs of physical impairment. In most states, the legal limit is 0.08% for driving under the influence cases. Getting legal help for DWI cases involving a per se DWI is especially important. Testimony about chemical testing may be complex, so you'll need a qualified attorney to sift through all of the information and defend you against the charges. Your attorney may also have expert witnesses testify during your trial to try to show that the test results were not valid or that testing was not performed correctly.
Legal Help for DWI - Fighting License Suspensions
You'll need legal help for DWI charges and for handling another part of your DWI case. When you're arrested for DWI, your driving privileges are automatically suspended as an administrative penalty. This suspension takes place even before you have a chance to present your defense at a trial. You'll need a qualified attorney on your side so you have someone to represent you during any appeal hearings that take place. If you have a skilled attorney, you may be able to get a restricted license or a temporary license that will allow you to drive to work, school, and other necessary appointments until your criminal trial takes place. Since not being able to drive can really mess up your life, having an attorney help you get your driving privileges reinstated is extremely important.
Legal Help for DWI - Sentencing
Getting legal help for DWI is also important even if you are convicted of a DWI charge. Because judges can consider a number of circumstances prior to sentencing convicted offenders, your attorney may be able to convince the judge to impose probation instead of jail or to reduce the penalties imposed against you in some other way. Your attorney will speak to the judge on your behalf and let him or her know about anything that could work in your favor. This information can include any disabilities you have that could not be adequately cared for in jail, family responsibilities like watching your children while your spouse works or caring for an elderly family member, or the fact that you are the only source of income for your family. Although you won't be able to get out of the DUI or erase it from your record, this information can get the judge to sentence you to probation and other penalties instead of jail time if it is appropriate based on the number of convictions you have and any aggravating circumstances present in your case.
