Recently criminal defense attorney, Tom D'Amore, was questioned on the legality of an arrest and confinement regarding the crime of assault on a public servant. The question was whether the individual had the requisite intent to "assault" the police officer as the individual was intoxicated.
Voluntary intoxication is not a defense under Texas law. If the individual had become intoxicated voluntarily, then he did not have a viable defense. There are many different defenses under Texas law. The D'Amore Law Firm can help you understand. and work through complex issues and concepts that might be applicable to your case.
