Description
John Roy Jacobs was found to be guilty by a jury of the misdemeanor offense of driving while intoxicated and punishment was assessed at five days confinement and a $150 fine. Jacobs appeals by three points of error. We agree with one of his assertions and, accordingly, reverse and remand for new trial. Jacobs was stopped by a police officer because he allegedly had a defective rear license plate light and his vehicle was weaving. Jacobs complied with the officer's request to perform certain field sobriety tests. Allegedly these tests were not completed successfully and Jacobs was transported to the Mesquite Police Department. Upon arrival, Jacobs was taken to a videoroom where his conversation with the police officer was taped. The officer informed Jacobs that he had the right to speak with an attorney. Jacobs requested that he be allowed to contact his wife; this request was denied. Subsequently, Jacobs submitted to a breathalyzer test which indicated that he had an alcohol concentration of 0.11.
