Can Prosecutors Charge DWIs Based on CIRCUMSTANTIAL Evidence?
If you've been accused of driving under the influence but the officer didn't directly witness you behind the wheel, Attorney Benson Varghese explains how circumstantial evidence may still be used against you. Learn how evidence like eyewitness testimony, 911 calls, and the context of your car being parked or running can all impact your case. If you're facing DUI charges, it's crucial to speak with an attorney to assess the strength of the evidence and your defense options.

Misdemeanor Punishment Ranges in Texas Explained
In Texas, misdemeanors are divided into three classes: Class C, B, and A. A Class C misdemeanor is the lowest level, typically resulting in a fine and no jail time, like a traffic ticket. Class B misdemeanors can result in up to 180 days in jail and a fine, with offenses like possession of small amounts of marijuana. Class A misdemeanors carry harsher penalties, including up to a year in jail, such as for assault causing bodily injury.
