The prescription of medication and to avoid arrest for drunk driving in Texas
"Intoxication" is defined under Texas law, as one of three ways:
(1) loss of normal mental faculties;
(2) loss of their physical normal, or
(3) having a blood alcohol level of 0.08.
The latter method would not apply to a prescription drug case or illegal substances. Thus, the first two definitions show the stark reality of being charged with driving on prescription medication overdose or lose normal use of his faculties mental or physical or both.
