The Express-News studied Bexar County court records on alcohol-related driving offenses from January 2009 to January 2022 to gain insight into how the criminal justice system handles DWI cases.
Our initial scrape captured 80,937 records. We did additional filtering and analysis to answer two key questions. We also wanted to identify cases where defendants were allowed to plead to obstructing a highway even though their blood alcohol concentration was above .15. That’s more than twice the legal limit – an extreme level of intoxication at which a person’s reflexes, judgment and motor coordination are severely impaired. Defendants with BACs above .15 were supposed to be barred from the “Take Responsibility” program.
