How We Can Help
Texas has more miles of inland waterways than any other state, and Texans love enjoying their state’s rivers, lakes, and beaches. Unfortunately, 20% of all boating-related deaths are linked to alcohol consumption, causing the Texas government to take the issue of BWI very seriously.
Police officers check for intoxication in a number of ways, including:
- Portable breathalyzer tests
- “Float tests,” a form of field sobriety test modified for boating
Failing these tests can have serious repercussions, including jail time, fines, and the suspension of your license.
