Congrats to Troy Burleson of Plano, TX on the start of his new blog, the Plano DWI Lawyer Blog.  Guess I'm no longer the only local guy blogging on DWI issues in the Collin County.

Troy has started off with a bang with such topics as:

• Texas DWI Breath Test: A high breath test DWI can be won with proper defense tactics.
• Collin, Dallas or Denton County, Texas DWI: 6 Facts that MUST be proven before you can be found Guilty of a Texas DWI:

Troy is a fierce advocate for his clients, and handles DWI, Toll Tag Violations, Expunctions & Non-Disclosures, Drug Possession, Theft/Shoplifting & Assault, Youthful Offenders, Traffic Tickets, Parole & Probation Violations.

Congratulations on the new blog.  I'm looking forward to reading more.

It would seem that State Rep. Scott Inman of Oklahoma came up with the perfect way to curb DWI's.  His bill would require anyone who is convicted to have it printed on their drivers license for four years.

I found the story  Inman Wants DUI, DWI Information On Licenses on the The McCarville Report Online, which follows OK political news.

Apparently Representative Inman believes that this will "alert" bartenders to the license holder's propensity to drink and drive and cause them to be cut off.

He explains:

This is a measure that I believe will help reduce the number of alcohol-related deaths by providing information to the drinking establishments that this person has a history of drinking and driving while intoxicated," said Inman, D-Del City. "Hopefully, the establishment will stop serving the customer after a few drinks. It's a way to help the industry police itself and to protect not only its customers, but also the thousands of innocent victims out there who die every year because of drunk drivers.

What about every time this person goes to use their license for non-alcohol related activities?  Does the guy you are cashing a check with really need to know this information?

I also think this is pretty dumb, considering I am 30 (and look it), and I only get carded about one out of every 10 times at the most.

Maybe if this is implemented in Texas, they can use the $3,000-$6,000 surcharge to pay for it....

Thanks to Tom Mighal from the Inter Alia blawg for making my site the "blawg of the day" recently.  Tom is the senior counsel at Cowles & Thompson in Dallas.  His site has turned me on to several other good blawgs that I would not have otherwise known.

Tom was also recently featured on Kevin O'Keefe's Real Lawyers Have Blogs.

Thanks to Rob La Gatta for pointing out my top ranking of the top 10 lawyer profiles viewed at the Avvo lawyer rating site last week. . . apparently I was #5 of the most viewed lawyers. 

I'm not entirely sure what this means for me personally, but certainly it is nothing negative.   Avvo is a new website that claims to give "unbiased ratings" of attorneys.  They have an interesting system that calculates your experience, industry recognition, and professional conduct.  According to them, I am "Very Good."  Of course, I have never been interviewed, or even met anyone affiliated from their site.

In the end, the only true way to find a lawyer you like is to meet them for yourself, and ask them the questions YOU want answered.  That is why I always offer a free DWI consultation.
