State Sen. Charles Schwertner, R-Georgetown, will not face prosecution after being arrested for suspicion of driving while intoxicated.
Travis County Attorney Delia Garza said there was not sufficient evidence to “prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt” and that her office will not pursue charges.
“Mr. Schwertner also voluntarily submitted to alcohol counseling and alcohol monitoring with no violations,” she said in a statement Tuesday.
Garza said Schwertner’s case was given the same consideration as other individuals facing a first-time DWI offense. Her statement came hours after Perry Minton, an attorney for Schwertner, announced that the charges were being dropped.
