I'm about as frustrated as I can possibly be with dealing with my DUI. Latest fiasco: Today did my drug and alcohol evaluation. 12 weeks of counseling was recommended based on my MAST test score which was 11 at the office I took it at. When I came home and took it online, answering the same as I did earlier, I got a 3. I guess that's why when I asked for a photocopy of the test I took, I was told "No, we don't want you to take it somewhere and show it to somebody". Great site, just stubbled upon it.

LOMAX v. STATE 233 S.W.3d 302 (TX 2007). Thus, changing the punishment range from 2-10 years to 5-99 year or life.

I can see the state being able to argue the nexus in a plea situation, but not after a trial. What benefit do defendants get by signing, if any. Are they punished if they refuse to sign it?
