Harris County prosecutors filed criminal charges Saturday against Hernan Fernandez Paz for driving while intoxicated with a blood-alcohol concentration above the legal threshold.
Court records list the case in district court, where Fernandez Paz is scheduled for an initial appearance before a magistrate.
Texas law enhances penalties when chemical tests document elevated BAC levels, reflecting lawmakers’ intent to deter high-intensity impairment.
Defense attorneys may challenge the stop or testing procedures, common strategies in DWI litigation across the Houston metro area.
If convicted, Fernandez Paz could face fines, license suspension and potential jail depending on prior history and plea negotiations.
