Legal Question in DUI Law in Texas

A judge told me to have an interlock device installed on my car. The problem is I was well under the legal limit so there's no way to prove that I was drunk. I wasn't swerving or anything. Do I need to get the device?

You should have a lawyer representing you dealing with these issues.

If the State thought there was no way to prove intoxication, you would not have been arrested and you would not have a pending case. Does not mean that ultimately your case won't be dismissed but as of now, you are on bond and must follow reasonable conditions of bond. If you think the condition is unreasonable, have your lawyer explain / handle it.

YES, you must have the device or be in violation of your bond and subject to having your bond revoked.

(Be aware that intoxication does not necessarily mean alcohol - could be drugs or a combination of drugs and alcohol.)
