I saw that in the news about a week ago. Irving is doing it too, they also took the bartender in for over doing it with the drinks.
Im making sure I dont go to a bar in Irving. I could just imagine hanging out with friends having a good time and that makes it seem like your drunk and whats happens they take you in and you get a citation. **** THAT!!!!

If you don't act like a drunken idiot in a bar, then you have no reason to worry about getting arrested. It is not like they're walking around with a breatalizer asking people to blow into it and arresting them if they blow over a 0.08% BAC.

From the article: To me it just sounds like a way to remove those people who have never had a drop of alcohol before but think they can handle 12 drinks in 2 hours and are puking or being a nuisance. We've all seen those people before and they are a nuisance. I don't think it's worth getting overly concerned about; I know I am won't be. I'll be at a bar somewhere this weekend drunk and won't be looking over my shoulder for cops.
Bar patrons may be approached if an officer spots them behaving erratically, such as having difficulty walking or standing. The officer will perform a field sobriety test similar to one for drunken drivers. A patron may also be asked to take a breath test, although it is not required, Beck said.
They are doing it here too. A friend of mine was walking to the cab that he had called when the cop assested him for a PI $250 to bail out of jail plus a court apperance and a fine.... what bullshit
Dallas morning news ran a story about a guy staying at a hotel in Dallas, who was down in the lobby bar of that hotel(where he was staying!) having a few drinks. TABC came in and arrested him for PI, and the guy lost his job.
Granted, they have to articulate on the PC affidavit that you were a danger to yourself or others. So you could get arrested, but you might have a chance in fighting and beating the charge in court depending on your specific situation.
Still BS IMO, and the TABC is really creating some negative press for themselves. If they are really concerned about DUI, then they should setup checkpoints.

The guy at the bar had a hamburger and six beers, now you tell me how drunk. I am under the impression it was not this man's first time to drink a beer. There is no explination for this kind of crackdown, they are simply trying to reinvent the wheel here. So this weekend whether your out at the track,at a bar,or out for a nice dinner with the better half you need to be careful cause you will be in jail. Reminds me of stories from **** Germany !!!
Sounds like a money making scheme to me, you know once you pay that fine, TABC gets that money. TABC is not out there for the safety of other people they have their own agenda. I go to other states and say we have Alcohol Beverage Commission and they say what is that, hmm I wonder why everyone in Texas has heard of it?
