Re: No Alcohol Limit?

Then there's Texas PC 40.01(2), which defines intoxication as...

Code: Select all

(2)  "Intoxicated" means:
      (A)  not having the normal use of mental or physical faculties by reason of the introduction of alcohol, a controlled substance, a drug, a dangerous drug, a combination of two or more of those substances, or any other substance into the body;  or
      (B)  having an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more.
But the "B" section DOES mention a legal limit of 0.08.

So, where is it written that there is "no legal limit" when carrying under a CHL?

I'm specifically looking for the code section that validates the CHL test question, not trying to open up a (nother) general discussion of intoxicated carry. :mrgreen:
Try not to think too much about these things. It's called "teaching to the test".

Like I say in every class, I didn't write the test. I may not fully agree with every question or every answer. But, as an instructor licensed by the DPS, I am bound to teach it.

Return to “No Alcohol Limit?”
