Everyone, I truly believe this, everyone deserves access to competent, even expert, criminal defense when they are accused of a crime by the State of Texas.

Mr. Lazarine on Driving While Intoxicated in Houston, Tx:

First of all, I want to just say that we should never drive while intoxicated. Yes, it’s dangerous, and people get killed because of DWI all the time (in every State, not just Texas).

But also, just take a moment and consider how incredibly easy it is (in 2018) to avoid this crime.

Uber! Lift! For goodness sake, who doesn’t have one of these apps installed right on your iPhone or Android? You press a button, and BOOM! Instant designated driver. What could be easier?

So, there is that. I like to bring that point up every time someone asks me to talk about drunk driving cases becasause more than anything, it’s a safety issue. I’m a lawyer, sure. But first, I’m a Texan, and I care about Texans. So don’t ever drive intoxicated. There is no reason for it.

The Costs of DWI in Houston:

1st DWI Houston, Tx Max $2,000 fine 3 – 180 days jail
2nd DWI Houston, Tx Max $4,000 fine 30 days – 1 year jail

Houston Child Pornography Lawyers

Many Texas attorneys in Harris County, Fort Bend County, and especially Montgomery County have been discussing one topic on message boards and at state wide conferences.

The coming storm of child pornography cases about to be filed in the Greater Houston Area.”

Some are saying that this topic may have been leaked by certain county prosecutors. The buzzword that everyone is talking about? DIGITAL FORENSICS.

Apparently the FBI, State, and local authorities, like Harris County Precinct Number 4, have upgraded abilities to track and monitor the downloading, sharing, and accessing of illicit / illegal content on the internet. This probably exists both at the individual computer level, and at the ISP (internet service provider) level.

One criminal defense lawyer stated, “…I’ve filled in on a couple of these cases, they’re complicated, they involve websites and search terms that would make a jury uncomfortable. Some defendants fight the charges because they have been victimized themselves…maybe by hackers, maybe by accessing file sharing sites where they obtained a virus that contaminated their hard drive. Some defendants are found guilty. Other defendants look for a plea bargain or some other quick resolution to the case. My advice, retain legal counsel as soon as possible. You’ll want a criminal attorney with experience in these kinds of cases.”

Bottom line is that nobody should engage in this kind of behavior. We should protect our children.

If you have been charged, then contact an attorney immediately.
