A conviction for public drunkenness isn’t something you want a potential employer to see. Avoid a conviction by hiring a Fort Worth public intoxication attorney from our firm.
Whether you went out on the town or you just came to sip a little champagne at a friend’s engagement party, you can be arrested and charged with public intoxication, often for the slightest reason.
Intoxicated individuals who appear in public and seem to be a danger to themselves or others can be accused of public intoxication. But who decides whether you’re being a danger or not? The police do, of course.
Regardless of whether you were actually drunk or there was some bias against you, a charge of public intoxication can negatively impact your life if it turns into a conviction.
If you have been charged with being drunk in public, contact a Fort Worth public intoxication lawyer from our office. We can defend you against a conviction for public drunkenness and help keep your criminal record from affecting your future.
You might have thought the worst punishment from that wild night out was going to be a hangover, but instead you woke up in a jail cell with a far worse headache to deal with. A conviction for public intoxication does have legal consequences, and those penalties increase if you have had previous convictions.
Bu you can boost your chance of achieving a positive outcome for your case by working with an attorney who knows how to keep you from suffering the legal consequences of a little too much alcohol consumption.
Being drunk in public in Fort Worth is a Class C misdemeanor offense. The penalties could include the following:
Keep in mind that the legal penalties aren’t the only ramifications you’ll face if convicted. Employers could look at the charge and dismiss you as a partier or an alcoholic, and certain housing options may be closed to you. However, there are defenses against conviction:
Public intoxication is one of those subjective charges where it’s often your word against the arresting officer’s. Whose side do you think the court will take? With a lawyer by your side, the court is more likely to take your side. Don’t jeopardize your future by pleading guilty to public intoxication without speaking with a defense attorney first.
