Marcus Smith was arraigned Saturday on a misdemeanor DWI charge alleging a blood-alcohol concentration at or above 0.15, Harris County records show.
Elevated BAC allegations trigger enhanced penalties and often prompt prosecutors to seek ignition interlock as a bond condition.
Smith’s defense may contest the reliability of breath-testing equipment through maintenance logs and calibration records.
Administrative license suspension can begin within weeks unless Smith requests an administrative hearing promptly.
Court staff assigned the case to a county criminal court docket specializing in impaired-driving matters.
