In the state of Texas, police officers are required to appear. But if the police officer doesn’t show up for the second time, the case would still be continued. If the police officer is not in court, that is because he was excused. He may already spoken with the judge and made arrangements for someone to come in his place, which is very unlikely, but the DUI case will still be continued at a later date. If the officer was not excused by the court, your boyfriend may ask for a dismissal of the DUI case.

To make sure that he will get out of his DUI charge, he will be needing a good San Antonio, Texas DUI lawyer because this is a serious offense that need not taken lightly.
