"Cognitive psychology tells us that the unaided human mind is vulnerable to many fallacies and illusions because of its reliance on its memory for vivid anecdotes rather than systematic statistics."

Steven Pinker

Have you ever played poker? You are a trader, I’m sure you have.
Do you remember that guy who always played the seven-deuce hand? Or the jackson five? …ten deuce … like any of those terrible pre-flop combinations.
There was always that guy. The guy who had once won a decent pot with a 7-2 offsuit (one of the worst pre-flop combinations you could have in Texas Hold’em, statistically speaking) and from that moment on, that pre-flop combination became his favorite hand, his ´lucky hand´.
Do you remember how that idea slowly grew within that guy and how aggressively he started to play that miserable hand? Whenever he won a pot with that hand he’d praise it out loud and he would kiss those cards, his lucky cards.
Please do not be that guy!
The human mind never ceases to amaze and to trigger intrigue. As Steven Pinker points out, some vivid anecdotes are very much capable of impregnating irrational convictions in our mind.
… So deeply that they end up transporting us to ludicrous realms …
… So deeply that they end up transporting us to consistently unprofitable decisions and strategies.
You see, as of the moment that guy started believing that the 7-2 was his ‘lucky’ hand, although he only won 1 out of 10 pots, losing money in the other 9, it would be that single winning event that would earn this spotlight in his mind, that would thus reinforce his conviction that the 7-2 was his ´lucky´hand and fuel the vicious cycle even further.
It wouldn't take long before that guy started asking for loaned money to keep on playing and fueling his conviction … Still, every once in a while, his ´lucky´ hand would win and this money sucking strategy would keep on going until there was no more money to suck.
Here’s what you are sadly raised to believe in which causes this sort of ruining behavior: your decisions are good or bad depending on their direct outcome.
Here’s what you are sadly not taught or wired to understand about life and decision making: sometimes you will make bad decisions which will result in good outcomes … likewise, sometimes you will make good decisions that will result in bad outcomes.
Life is not black and white. Life is not chess where all the information is made available and all the outcomes fall within a finite range of possibilities. Life is more like poker where you need to make decisions with incomplete information.
What can you then do in face of uncertainty? What should guide your decision making in such a world?
Probabilities and risk to reward considerations.
What do I mean?
In life, even the worst hand comes out ahead occasionally, just like the best hands lose. No matter how bad a 7-2 might be, every once in a while it will be the winning hand. No matter how strong a pair of Aces might be, every once in a while it will nevertheless be the losing hand.
Over the long run, if you play the 7-2 offsuit hand instead of folding pre flop, the law of big numbers entails your ruin as a poker player statistically speaking.
With this in mind, should you decide to play it anyway this time and you win a huge pot … then you’ve made a bad decision.
Conversely, should you decide not to play it where the outcome would have been a hefty win, then you’ve nevertheless made a good decision.
Which lessons should you extrapolate from poker, from life … to trading? Well, trading is poker on steroids haha.
Without the help of quantification and stats, your mind will be helpless in trading … it will be seeing ‘lucky hands’ everywhere.
Should you want to make good trading decisions, then you must measure your ‘lucky hands’.
Backtest and forward test your hunches, use the (profitable) measurements to create systematic decision making approaches.
Only this will save you from being ‘that’ guy.
Do not be that guy.
Cheers,
Ruben

As you know, I try to write this record of modern America from the perspective of what stories will matter in 150 years (about the span between the present and the Civil War).
So, for all the chop in the water about the former president facing indictments, the story that really seems uppermost to me today is the visit China’s president Xi Jinping made today to Moscow for a meeting with Russia’s president Vladimir Putin.
National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications John Kirby told reporters today that China and Russia would both like “to see the rest of the world play by their rules rather than the ones that…are enshrined in the U.N. Charter and what everybody else is…following.” Kirby said the White House sees the relationship of Xi and Putin as a “marriage of convenience.” He explained:
“In President Putin and Russia, President Xi sees a counterweight to American influence and NATO influence certainly on the continent and elsewhere around the world. In President Xi, President Putin sees a potential backer.” Putin needs Xi’s support because of his misadventure in Ukraine. There, Kirby said, Putin is “blowing through inventory. He’s blowing through manpower. His military is getting embarrassed constantly. They’ve lost greater than 50 percent of the territory that they took in the first few months of this war. He needs help from President Xi, and that’s what this visit was all about.”
“Now,” he added, “whether it results in anything, we’ll see.”
When a reporter asked Kirby if Xi would provide lethal aid to Russia, Kirby answered, “We don’t think that China is taking it off the table, but they haven’t moved in that direction. We’ve seen no indication that they’re about to or — or fixing to provide lethal weapons.”
The Institute for the Study of War concluded that the outcome of the meeting was likely less than Putin wanted. It noted that Putin represented the meeting as showing the two countries working together against an adversarial West, while Xi only said the two countries were working together. This is a significant step down from the stance China took before Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, in which it declared it had a “no limits partnership” with Russia, suggesting China is not inclined to give Russia all the support it needs for that war.
Putin has been trying to rally states in Africa to his cause and likely hoped Xi would help that effort, but he did not.
The People’s Republic of China (PRC) and Russia put out a statement deepening their cooperation, but Sam Greene, Director for Democratic Resilience at the Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA) and Professor of Russian Politics at King's College London, noted that the economic benefits of the statement all flowed from Russia to China, including Russia’s announcement that it will use yuan for foreign transactions with Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
“This summit…brings home exactly how much Putin has lost,” Greene wrote. “Prior to the war—even after 2014—Putin occupied a position of strategic maneuverability. He could arbitrage between east and west, reaping windfalls for his regime along the way. That’s all gone now. Putin tells his people he's fighting for Russia's sovereignty. In truth, he’s mortgaged the Kremlin to Beijing.”
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida of Japan met with Ukraine president Volodymyr Zelensky today in a surprise trip to Ukraine at Zelensky’s invitation. It is the first visit of a Japanese prime minister to a country at war since World War II and demonstrates Japan’s growing international foreign policy presence. Last month, when Japan pledged $5.5 billion in humanitarian aid to Ukraine, Kishida said: “Russia’s aggression against Ukraine is not just a European matter, but a challenge to the rules and principles of the entire international community.” Today, he confirmed Japan’s “solidarity and unwavering support for Ukraine.”
The next most important issue of the day, to my mind, was President Joe Biden’s designation of two new national monuments under the Antiquities Act of 1906: Avi Kwa Ame in Nevada and Castner Range in Texas. These are Biden’s second and third new monument designations. Last fall he created the Camp Hale–Continental Divide National Monument in Colorado, and in 2021 he restored the protections to Bears Ears, Grand Staircase–Escalante, and Northeast Canyons and Seamounts National Monuments that Trump had removed. Both of the new monuments cover land sacred to Indigenous American tribes. Together, they protect nearly 514,000 acres.
Biden also directed Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo to start the process of designating a marine sanctuary in the Pacific covering 777,000 square miles.
Biden is advancing his promise to conserve American lands, but he is also answering criticism of his administration’s approval of the controversial Alaska Willow oil drilling project on March 13. ConocoPhillips had existing leases for the project, and it has bipartisan support in Alaska, where locals expect it will bring jobs and income, so after debate, the administration let the project move forward. But environmentalists and those who recognize the immediate need to address climate change vehemently opposed the project, launched lawsuits immediately, and criticized the president.
“Our national wonders are literally the envy of the world,″ Biden said as he announced the new monuments. “They’ve always been and always will be central to our heritage as a people and essential to our identity as a nation.″
But while conservation groups and tribal members cheered the new designations, the new Republican governor of Nevada, Joe Lombardo, said that the federal government was confiscating Nevada land—a red-hot issue in the home state of the Bundy ranchers who have engaged in armed standoffs with law enforcement officers over public land—and said the new Nevada monument is “a historic mistake that will cost Nevadans for generations to come.”
None of this is to say that Trump’s troubles are not important. Indeed, the indictment of a president is unprecedented, and there is good reason to watch it closely, not least because the Republican Party has tied itself to him so completely it is now responding to the growing tide of legal news by calling for the investigation or even the arrest of those handling Trump’s many lawsuits– an alarming development.
Right now, though, much of what we are seeing is being churned up by Trump himself, and it feels far less important than the fact it appears that neither the legal nor the political momentum is in his favor.

My husband and I are about to buy property with his brother and the help of his parents. Their dad doesn't want my name on anything and is adamant that I sign a post-nuptial agreement that says I'm not entitled to anything of my husband's if I decide to leave him. We've been together for 9 years now and just got married in the fall. I've never had major financial mishaps. My husband said his dad is worried about my parents. My parents have had some issues but they've never asked me for money and I truly believe they never would. I have 4 older siblings who are equal or better off than me as well. I don't want to be screwed over. Any advice?
In Texas!

Mike Miles Jr is a 6'2'' (he's probably 6'1'') junior guard expected to be taken in the second round -- if drafted -- yet may commit to the leap to the NBA following injury scares this year.
While not seeing a dramatic change in his valuation over the course of his three years of basketball, he's arguably made advances to showcase his scoring potential. He's shooting his best from the field (49.7%) and from deep (36.2%). He's also seen an improvement at getting to the line (6.3 times per). From a story perspective, his leadership helped turned around Jamie Dixon's ball club following two years of head scratching basketball. And in some ways, it felt as if Dixon had found his version of the man who overshadowed those great years of Pittsburgh basketball in Kemba Walker. He didn't but if anyone was going to be a Kemba Walker, it was Mike Miles Jr.
MMJ's game reflects that of a modern point guard. He's a scorer when needed, a playmaker when needed and is a guard that can live without the ball in his hands. One of the biggest criticisms to his game was the "cold nights" -- which truly weren't plenty this season. In fact, only 1 game this season out of 27 did he not score over 10 points -- that being TCU's win against Texas. In that match-up where he went 0-8 from the field, 5 turnovers and only one assist, his influence on the floor was still noticeable. And one of the biggest growth points has been his ability to play above his size. A very smart defensive player, he's shown an ability to jump in front of passes and swarm defenders as they drive into the paint.
Austin Reaves and Mike Miles Jr have a very similar story of a player that arguably elevated their teammates but didn't necessarily get the public consideration for it as the team struggled to reach the top of the mountain of the Big 12. Both showcased the ability to create for their teammates yet didn't necessarily the the assist credit as the basket simply didn't fall in. And Miles Jr has a very complete guard game, that continues to be rewarded at the next level.
While guards like Isaiah Wong can argue their size and similar improvement year over year, not many can argue their ability to do it without needing the ball in their hands. It wouldn't be a surprise if MMJ does return yet it would be a disservice to think that it is because he isn't "draft worthy" right now.

I have a 23yr old special needs son. He had a fit and put me in the hospital. The police came and arrested him (not the 1st violent fit so police are aware of my home) usually he’s taken to the hospital or they talk to him and calm him. The following day of his arrest he was released, my daughter (whom is in another state) called her friend to pick him up. I didn’t have a phone it was smashed with the fit. Here now some time later I’ve called APS and nothing has been done. I’ve called for a welfare check to be told in the state I’m pretty sure he’s in that a male (the father) answered the ring doorbell and stated my son was fine. No one talked or set eyes on my son to confirm, when I asked if I should go back in a few hours when someone’s home, I was told I could get in trouble for harassment if I called too many times I’ve only called one time! He hasn’t been able to take his meds hasn’t done his counseling or seen his doctor. I’m not sure who exactly flew my son to Texas from the state we live in but I’m heart broken. His phone just goes straight to voicemail. The father is a POS and won’t answer anything, I feel he realized he was going to have to pay child support because of our sons special needs developmentally delayed and this was his opportunity to dodge it. The police tell me because my son is 23 (24 yrs on the 23rd 😭) he’s an adult. I asked about abduction I asked about being held against their will and manipulated. Apparently it doesn’t fall in the category of special-needs, I’m just continuously told he’s an adult. I never went and got the whole guardianship through the courts because I am his payee and I’ve always done paperwork to be able to take care of his medical needs now I’m heartbroken and have no idea what I can do. My guardianship hearing is April 18. I also was served with papers from Texas (not the state I live in) the father wants guardianship to place him in a long time care facility! The dad has been estranged for a many yrs. Do I have anything I can do for my son a high risk adult that is developmentally delayed?

Part 5 is coming soon (WrestleMania 21 to WrestleMania XXV)

Oil prices stabilised on Tuesday after falling early in the previous session on investor worries that recent banking-sector problems would weigh on the global economy and limit demand for crude. https://www.wikifx.com/en/newsdetail/202303215434867554.html?gip=TGal88
Brent crude futures for May settlement gained 5 cents and traded at $73.84 per barrel by 0049 GMT. U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude futures rose 9 cents to $67.73 a barrel. In the previous session, both Brent and WTI fell about $3 a barrel before settling higher.
The April WTI contract expires on Tuesday; May is the most active contract for WTI.
Tuesday‘s slight uptick in prices came after a historic deal in which UBS, Switzerland’s largest bank, agreed to buy Credit Suisse in an effort to save the bank. After an announcement of the agreement, major central banks, including the U.S. Federal Reserve and European Central Bank, indicated that they would enhance market liquidity and support other banks.

I hope i am in the right place - if not please tell me and I will go there. I think this is a bit unique. I can't work with just one realtor since ballpark, I am looking in about 20 states.
So yeah. I am currently on the lookout for a new home and I could really use some help. My budget is around 675k, but I can stretch it a bit if needed. I am currently living waterfront with over 1/2 acre of land on a good size lake that is about 500 acres. I'm surprised by how difficult it is to find a clean lake with moving water that isn't covered in weeds etc. That is a MUST if the property is on the water. I do really enjoy being on the water and it is ideal, but not an absolute need so I am willing to sacrifice it or even go salt water if possible.
My current home is a 3 bedroom (one is my office) 2 bathroom home which is about 2800 sq ft. The basement is not great and the attic is huge but filled with HVAC so it is just storage. However, I do have a second structure which is another 2 bed 1 bath, but it needs to be torn down and rebuilt. It is approved for a full basement, two floors, plus a full (non crawl space) attic which could also be livable. Basically, it's ready to be a 3000+ sq ft home.
I have no limitations on location, but I would like to stay in the US. I am currently living in a very gun-friendly state with a collection of cool stuff. I understand if you don't like guns, but please respect my responsible firearm ownership and that I would like to be in a firearm-friendly-ish state. I just want to be able to keep what I have. Nothing full auto or NFA etc.
Size-wise, I don't care, as it is just me and the dog. As much as I would love a wife and family, I don't see that happening, and it hasn't for the past 20 years, so I guess I am forever alone until someone comes along. Oh well. I am social-ish and like space though. I love to entertain, have people over and being able to have some friends visit and stay would be nice.
What I would really love is a big kitchen with awesome appliances and a nice layout. Nice cabinets and all that stuff. I love to cook, even though cooking for just me is lame, I still cook, grill, BBQ, and smoke for friends and such. I would also love a really nice bathroom with a tall shower - one of those tiled, over sized showers, not a stupid tub I will never use. A separate spa/hot tub, jacuzzi tub would be cool, and I have seen some really nice ones, but again, not a hard need. The shower though is important. I want it to be nice.
I love nature and live in the northeast, but as I said, I have no ties here anymore, and this is a fresh start with no significant limitations and that also gives me the opportunity to go somewhere warmer than up here. I have been looking all over and found a lot in Texas, California, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, some in the Carolinas, Tennessee, and tons in the Midwest. Log cabins are a dream, and I would love to be semi or fully off-grid, meaning solar and geothermal. These are things I can't search by, though.
I would also like something unique if possible. I like architecture. I fall in love with every Queen Anne Victorian I see or anything that isn't a cookie cutter special. I would like room, space, land, the more the better. I have chickens right now but it wouldn't take much for me to enjoy having a goat or two, a bigger flock, and maybe a goose, a horse, and a cow (especially a highland cow!) or something.I definitely want to grow my own fruits and veggies. I thoroughly enjoy gardening. I like being self-sufficient and I don't mind raising my own harvest.
If you know of any houses that might fit my criteria, I would really appreciate it.

Hello all, I'm Sam, and I’m from Texas! I work retail while I do my teaching certification.
I really enjoy movies (been super interested in horrothrillers recently, I really like the MCU), anime (my favs are Fruits Basket and Assassination Classroom), and shows (I like several of the Netflix originals as well as animated shows like Gravity Falls, Steven Universe, and recently Rick and Morty). I wanna watch The Last of Us and House of Dragons but haven’t gotten to them yet.
I also like to game, and would love to play Stardew Valley, Don't Starve, or Warframe with others (though I'm new to Warframe). I play all of that on the PC! I also like Skyrim, the Crash series, Detroit: Become Human, and Fallout. I’ve also tried Fortnite recently and it was fun! All of those are on PS5! I wanna get into more games and especially multiplayer games but it's a slow grind. Generally also like music and cooking and just general conversation! I'd just really like to make some longterm friends if possible. I’m also a big fan of Kpop/kdramas, but need to invest more time to start watching some of the kdramas on my lists! 😭 also trying to get back into reading as well!
Hoping for more friends to game with and even to watch random stuff with because I love movies but never watch them. 😭
I play on switch, PC, and PS5!
I took French in college but I’m not very good. I like to bake and listen to music as well! My fiancé and I love to cook as well!
I also have discord if you would like to talk there.

I'm reading Lorraine Heath's Texas Destiny right now. It's good in terms of action. The scarred brother is tasked with retrieving his injured brother's mail-order bride. The FMC and her to-be husband's brother are together for a month, traveling back, and getting into all kinds of scrapes. They accidentally kiss. Fine. But then there's all the other. Okay - they're alone for a month. I kind of get it. But then, they get to the ranch, and they're still kissing each other. No actual bedding, but... I understand people fall in love, but if you're bound to marry another, and you're not going to stop the wedding, there is no kissing, people! She's saying she'll marry but never love. He's all, you deserve better. Etc. I have so little respect for cheating (even "just" kissing) that I don't even want to finish the book. I'm like - these unprincipled people deserve each other, and Dallas (the would-be groom) deserves better.
What is your take on cheating in romance novels? What are your boundaries for maintaining empathy for the MCs? Is there a book that does it well without making the partner also a cheater or a terrible person?

I wanted to share my whole DUI experience in case it can help some of you just going through this. It is very long, so I split it up into parts to make it more digestible, and so you can skip a part of you aren’t interested in reading it. TLDR; at the bottom.
Some key info: I’m a female and was arrested at 28 with my first DUI charge and received it while living in Texas at the beginning of 2022. BAC came in at .21 and I had crashed my car into the curb when the cops found me. I hired my own attorney and the whole ordeal took 10 months.
Part 1: The Night I got Arrested
I went to a bar I had never been to by myself. I was recovering from COVID that I had tested positive for 10 days earlier. I had tested positive on my birthday and was feeling very bored and lonely and thought it would be a great idea to go out by myself and maybe make some friends or meet someone. Pro-tip for any of you new to San Antonio, the bars on the strip over-pour. I was not aware of this at the time and that was my second mistake. My first was going out without any friend.
Long story short, I left around close but I was so drunk that I blacked out. Usually when I drink heavily, I’ll sleep it off in my car before I leave, but I was so far gone, I didn’t sleep first. I don’t remember getting into my car or crashing it. The first time I came to consciousness, I realized my car was acting weird and pulling me to the left so I got out to look at it. The next thing I remember was having a cop standing next to me and the flashing lights behind my car. I tapped my damaged side skirt with my foot, looked at the cop, and said, “I dunno what happened.” I know, I should have claimed someone I had just met was driving because they said they were okay to drive, then crashed and ran off, but I was too drunk to think that clearly.
Next thing I remember, I’m being put in a holding cell. I didn’t come back to full awareness until I had woken up in the cell. I’m a little bitch, so needless to say, I spent the rest of the night sobbing. I learned that I had denied the breathalyzer and was taken to the nurses room to get my blood drawn. I tried to deny that one too but they had a warrant. Considering this was about 4 hours after I had left the bar and taking into account my sex and body weight, I was probably at around a .28 when I left. Around 9am I was taken to the magistrates office.
​
Part 2: Magistrates
I was taken to the processing room and asked by a male officer, “what do you have down there?”. Very professional way of asking if I'm a man or a woman... I look like a girl, but whatever. They set me up with a female officer and she had me strip naked, bend over and cough. One of the more humiliating times of my life. Pro-tip, if you plan on getting a DWI, make sure to bring a sweatshirt or jacket because it is absolutely freezing in both the police station and magistrates office. Also, maybe wear some sweatbands to shove under the ankle cuffs. I had a lot of bruises around my ankles when I left.
To save you all of the boring details of how the next 14 hours went, just skip to part 3 from here. Between waiting, watching whatever was playing on the TV’s, and trying to sleep in between fits of crying, I went through the whole processing process. First up was the judge where I was read my charges and given my bond. The bond amount came out to $1000, and thankfully I was eligible for a PR bond. I was bonded out with a $70 fee, but that didn’t mean I could leave like I was hoping.
Next up was getting processed. Finger prints, mugshot, the works. Then I had to sit down and go over my details with the bonds office so I could be accepted for the PR bond. After that was a trip to the nurses station where I had to take a pee test to check if I was pregnant (fun fact, I’m only attracted to women so... no), asked some medical history questions, and tested for TB. I was finger printed a second time for some reason and then spent the next forever hours waiting to be released. People with severe ADHD are not built for being locked up. I thought I was going to go insane.
Around 11pm they called my name for release where I was given my inmate card and told me this would be used as my ID since I wasn’t getting my license back. Then I was brought into the exit room and received my things from the desk. Wallet, keys, shoe laces, and phone. My phone was dead and no one had a charger, and with my car being impounded, I had no way to get home. Thankfully I made friends with another lady that had been locked up and her family was picking her up. She offered to get me a ride home.
​
Part 3: Impounded Vehicle, Damage, and Hiring a Lawyer
The next morning, I called a lawyer one of my friends used for her DWI and set an appointment for that afternoon, then took an Uber straight to the impound lot. I got to my car and saw the full extent of the damage in the light. It was bad. I clearly got into a fight with a curb and somehow got damage on the top of my fender. I never got charged for hitting anyone, so who knows what happened there. Maybe a concrete barrier, considering how much the top of my fender was ripped up. My rocker panel was completely crushed in, stress cracks on my front bumper, front lip was hanging off a bit, both wheels were cracked and tires were flat, and my side skirt had been mostly ripped off. I called a tow truck and he dropped me off at a little family owned shop and they took the wheels off to find the tie rod was snapped, and the front lower control arm and rear control arm were bent.
Suspension repairs came out to $700. I ordered a new set of wheels and tires later that week and left my car sitting in front of the shop while I waited for the wheels to get delivered. It took an entire month to get my car back in a driveable condition because of how long it took to get the wheels. I didn’t have the money to fix the body and didn’t want to file it with my insurance due to the situation, so over a year later I’m still driving a busted up car, but at least it works. Total cost for the parts, labor, getting it out of impound and tow came out to around $2600. I had a friend’s ex look at the body damage and he told me to expect around $3400 in body repair. Pro-tip, don’t get a DWI, they’re expensive.
One more pro-tip, as soon as you get out of jail, go online and get your license replaced. It takes a couple months for your license suspension to go through, so make sure you get a replacement license in the mean time. The cops will not give you your license back. As for the lawyer, he was cheaper than the car and was a huge help. $2700 and he dealt with everything. My advice when it comes to lawyers is get one. Many will offer payment plans so you don’t have to provide cash up front. He made the whole ordeal so much easier and gave me a lot of helpful info, plus knew the prosecutors and had friends among them. I’ll get more into why you need to get a private attorney in later parts. Hiring him was simple. I went to their website and set up an appointment time. Went to his office the day after being arrested, and told him the story. He told me what to expect, let me know what he can do, and we set up the payment plan. The deductible was $200 and he set me up to pay $150 biweekly until the $2700 was paid off. I had trouble paying him back and he said no worries, just get him back by the end of the year.
​
Part 4: Court, License Suspension, and Legal Advice
If you just got out of jail, be prepared for many months and many court appearances. Thankfully, a lot of court in Bexar County has been moved to Zoom since COVID hit and that is still the case today. My roommate is going through it right now, but for a different crime and with a free public defender, so I will be making comparisons in Part 8.
The first court date is just you stating that you are there and willing to follow the orders of your bond, stay in the state, and all that fun stuff. They ask if you’re present and you say you are, then your attorney will introduce him or herself. The next couple court dates are a blur, just mundane conversations with the lawyer and judge. Thanks to having an attorney, I didn’t have to attend 2 of the dates and he took care of the license suspension court. I was suspended for 6 months and could request approval to drive to and from work with a Restricted Drivers License, but I didn’t want to pay for the SR22 insurance. I only drove to and from work over the next 6 months, mounted my front license plate instead of leaving it in my window, and always drove as carefully as possible. Happy to say I made it without any issues. If you do get caught, that could mean additional fees or even being arrested again if the cop is having a bad day.
During this time, my attorney gave me a list of things to do that would look good to the judge. Based on his conversations with the prosecutors, without doing those things I was looking at 18 months probation and 9 months with an interlock. These things included taking 2 different driving courses, getting my friends and family to write letters saying nice things about me, writing a letter saying nice things about myself, donating to the judge’s favorite charities, and I even went ahead and took a SASSI-4. That’s an exam you take that a therapist will review and screen you for substance use disorder and risk. My lawyer decided not to show that one to the prosecutors when my result for “Alcohol and other Drug Problem” was “High probability of substance use disorder”.
I completed everything he gave me and the prosecutors offered a plea deal for 15 months of deferred adjudication probation (which allows me to have my record wiped 2 years after completing probation) and 7.5 months with an interlock. If you live in Texas and are convicted of a DWI for the first time, you are required a minimum 12 months of probation and have to have an interlock installed for at least half of your probationary period. They say a mandatory three days incarcerated too, but this is not true. The likelihood of going to jail for your first DWI once convicted is extremely low. I talk to one guy at the bar a year ago who volunteered 30 days in jail instead of taking a plea deal. That didn’t seem like an option for me, but I wouldn’t have taken it because fuck that. He said he wished he hadn’t.
​
Part 5: Conviction
I voluntarily decided to get sober in September and started attending AA meetings. I received my 1 month chip the day before my final court hearing and I think this helped my case a ton. My final court hearing had to be in person. My lawyer met with the prosecutors one last time and they settled on their original deal of 15 months probation and 7.5 months on interlock, but agreed to drop me from a Misdemeanor A to a Misdemeanor B because of my voluntary 1 month completion of sobriety with AA.
Once I was called to the stand, my lawyer stood with me and spoke to the judge about my case and the plea deal. She asked me a couple yes or no questions. Make sure you always say “your honor” when you finish speaking as a show of respect. The judge will take your respect of them into account. When all was said and done, and this is why I say having a lawyer is very helpful, I pleaded no contest and the judge sentenced me to 12 months of probation because in her words, “that’s as low as I can go”, which told me she would have gone lower if she could, 6 months on interlock, and agreed to dropping me to a misdemeanor B. I wanted to bear hug my lawyer after we left the court. Thanks to him and to my efforts based on his recommendations, and my personal decision to attend AA and get sober, I was dropped from 18 months of probation and 9 months on interlock to just 12 months of deferred adjudication probation and 6 months of an interlock. I am so thankful to the judge for having some mercy on me.
After court, I went to the probation office to get registered, and my first meeting was scheduled for a month later.
​
Part 6: Probation
Since I had completed all of those things my lawyer suggested I do (all except the donating to the judges charity because I was broke), I had the certification already completed for the mandatory classes. Also, and this one is weird and totally up to the judge, because I was vaccinated for COVID, she dropped 20 hours from my 45 hours of community service. I don’t know why, but I’m not complaining.
My first probation meeting went well. I seem to have a good PO. She did make me aware that I had to give 3 months notice for any planned travel outside of the state, but I travel for work frequently, and usually only get 3 days to 2 weeks notice before I have to fly out, and I work outside of the country on occasion. I contacted my lawyer and he was able to get the judge to approve an Order for Travel, allowing me only 48 hours notice to my PO if I am traveling anywhere inside or outside of the country for work with a mandatory drug test within 24 hours of returning home. Once again, thank you lawyer. A free attorney would have taken months to get this approved, but it only took my attorney a week.
I’m nearly half way through my 12 months of probation, and so far I haven’t had any issues. Every drug test is clean, my certification was approved, she set me up to do my community service at the animal shelter, and that’s it! Almost… I did have to take an alcohol and drug evaluation and, like the SASSI, the counselor who evaluated me, said I have a high probability of a substance use disorder. Pro-tip, if you had a beer while on probation, even if it was just one, don’t admit that… She talked me up and was being super friendly, then asked when the last time I purchased alcohol was and my dumbass admitted to having a beer with some pizza earlier that month. Now, I have to complete a month long $500 outpatient substance abuse treatment program. I start that next week.
​
Part 7: Interlock
Per my plea deal, I have to have an interlock installed on my car for 6 months and had a month after my court date to get it installed. I shopped around and ultimately went with SmartStart because they had the closest location to me. That was the only reason. The reviews for every company are all equally bad. I’ve had it for almost 5 months, and I can genuinely say this is the worst part of the punishment. These thing drives me insane. I’m required to blow into it 3 times a day, even if I’m not going anywhere. I’ve had to have the technicians fix something with it twice now. The first time it locked me out even though I wasn’t in my car, the second time it kept disconnecting and I couldn’t start my car unless I fiddled with the wires.
I also had someone break into my car a couple months ago, and that dumbass stole the camera. They probably thought it was a security camera, but it is definitely not. The camera only turns on when you are blowing into the device, just to make sure you are the one blowing into it and not cheating the system by having someone else blow into it. You are responsible for any damages to the device, so that ended up costing me $300 dollars to replace plus an additional $90 for the install. That brings me to my next issue… You have to have the device calibrated once a month. Calibration means they download all of the data on the interlock device and send it to your PO. It will record any time you blew dirty, got a warning (this happens if you are close to .025 BAC), didn’t blow when it alerted you while driving, or got a lockout. And it costs $90 each time. I'm looking at 6 months of interlock costing around $1000.
This past month, I started having an issue with my battery and found that the car will completely lose power and I have to adjust the negative terminal to get power back. This wouldn’t be the worst thing ever, and it isn’t the fault of the interlock, but if I get into my car and it has power, and I blow, sometimes the car will lose power when I try to start it. This causes the interlock device to freak out when I get power back to my car, and it won’t allow me to start the engine even though it isn’t asking me to blow. I have to turn my car off, disconnect and reconnect the unit, then sit there for 10 minutes with the battery disconnected before I can reconnect it, blow into the interlock, and finally start my car. This thing is nothing but an expensive pain in my ass.
Just a little over a month left and I can say goodbye to this little piece of shit. Provided my PO doesn’t take a long time to get the request for removal and the judge doesn’t take a long time to respond. That’s my final issue. Even though there was the agreement made in court that I only had to have it for 6 months, I can’t just get it removed once I hit the 6 month mark. I have to get approval for it to be removed and this can take anywhere from a couple days to a couple months depending on how backed up the judge is. According to my PO, the judge is very backed up. It took one of my friends nearly 2 months to get approval to have hers removed. That whole time you still have to use it as normal and go in for monthly calibrations. Our court system is so convoluted.
​
Part 8: Private Attorney vs Public Defender
Whatever you do, do not use a public defender. If there is any possible way you can afford an attorney, do that. Even if you have to take out a loan, HIRE AN ATTORNEY. My roommate is using a public defender for the trouble she’s in, and it has been nothing but a pain in the ass. They are overworked and will only do the bare minimum for you. My attorney was so easy to contact, went out of his way to help, covered court dates for me, got a great deal with the prosecutors, and gave me tons of helpful advice. Plus he was able to help with the work order and have it approved in a week after I completed court.
My roommate’s attorney is nearly impossible to contact, and when she finally does get a hold of him, he has no idea who she is or what is going on with her case. He’s always asking her to remind him of what happened last, and asking his assistant questions too. He got the prosecutors to agree to consider dropping her case after her first court date and all they needed was her hospital records to review since she was arrested on domestic dispute charges for taking the fall for her abusive ex. She was also arrested on a warrant for missing her court date, which means she is currently on full house arrest. For the past 3 court dates, her attorney has forgotten to give the prosecutors her hospital records.
She also requested partial house arrest so she can return to work but the attorney is dragging his feet on that too. She has now been out of work for 5 months and can never get a straight answer from him when she asks if she can go to work yet. Her place of employment has rehired her twice now, but she keeps getting removed from their system because it is taking so long. It seems this second time was the last straw, because now they won’t contact her back, and she can only get approved for partial house arrest if she has employment and a schedule to prove. It feels like going in circles with this guy, and she’s extremely depressed and defeated, and I’m footing all of the bills because I’m nice and love her. But holy fuck I am BROKE.
Please, for the love of all that is good, hire a private attorney, otherwise you’re probably going to get a shit plea deal, the absolute minimum amount of help, and be stuck to navigate the court system on your own. I regret not hiring an attorney for her, because she would have had her charges dropped back in January if it wasn’t for this shitty public defender, could have gone back to work, and she would have made back what the lawyer cost a month later. Don’t put yourself through that if you don’t have to.
​
Part 8: Conclusion/TLDR
Anyway, if you made it this far, congrats. If I was helpful in any way, I am glad I could share. This took me a solid 3 hours to write. If you didn’t make it through, here’s the TLDR or a summary for those of you who did read most, if not all of it;
I got in an accident with a curb after blacking out and was arrested for a DWI. I declined to blow, but was given a blood test about 4 hours later, resulting in a .21 BAC. My license was suspended for 6 months because I refused the breathalyzer, although I would still recommend refusing just in case. It’s easier for a lawyer to get a dismissal on a blood test, plus there's a chance you’ll sober up enough to be under the legal limit by the time they get the warrant for the blood test. Make sure to get a replacement license as soon as you get out of jail, because it’ll take a couple months before your license is suspended.
Push for a PR bond if this is your first time being arrested and you have a clean record. The county will pay your bond and you just have to pay a fee. My bond was $1000 and I had a $70 fee. Do not accept a public defender if you can avoid it. Hire a lawyer. If you want all the details of why, you can read that in Part 7. Thanks to my lawyer and his recommendations, my charge was dropped from a Misdemeanor A to a Misdemeanor B, went from 18 months of probation and 9 months on interlock to 12 months and 6 months, and got a work travel order permitted in a week.
He was also able to get me a plea deal for deferred adjudication probation, which means you don’t get officially charged until you complete probation, and can have your record expunged after 2 years of completion. That’s great, because having a DWI on your record can be extremely limiting. You can’t go to Canada for 10 years, can’t rent a car, might not be approved for TSA PreCheck, employers will see it on a background checks, landlords and universities can see it too, and your insurance goes up. Get that expunged as soon as you can.
And finally, I wanted to put all of the costs together, including my extra costs and possible costs for anyone curious of the total.
Car Stuff - $11 for license replacement, $400 to have removed from Impound and towed to a shop, $700 on suspension repairs, estimated $3400 for body work. Total = $4511
Court/Probation Fee's - $70 for PR Bond, $2500 in court/probation fees, $120 for DUI courses, $10 a service hour, so $250 total if I don't do community service, outpatient therapy is $500. Total = $3440
LawyeInsurance - $2700 in lawyer fees, $250 for Restricted Driver License, around $800 for SR22 insurance for 6 months Total = $3750
Interlock - $540 for 6 months of calibrations, $390 for stolen camera, $90 for removal. Total = $1,020
Expunging Record - $600
Total cost when all is said and done - $13,321
Needless to say, I should have taken a $30 Uber. But hey, I've learned a lot because of what I did and there is nothing I can do but make the best of it. You can do this too. This is just one shitty hurdle in life, but you can overcome and move past it with time and effort. Thanks for reading.
