The DUI Law in Oklahoma
Drunk driving is charged as DUI in Oklahoma, at a blood alcohol level of 0.08 or more; driving while impaired (DWI) is charged from 0.05.
Driving in Oklahoma is consent to a breath or blood test when an officer has cause to suspect DUI; the license case that follows a refusal or a failed test is run by Service Oklahoma, separately from the criminal case.
For charging and sentencing, Oklahoma counts prior offenses within 10 years.
Who Makes DUI Arrests in Texas County

Booking After a DUI Arrest in Texas County
A driver arrested for DUI and kept in custody goes to the county jail, whichever agency made the arrest. The jail, run by the Texas County Sheriff's Office, held about 43 people on an average day in 2023 by the Vera Institute of Justice's count and has a custody page SearchSystems verified at jctxsheriff.org/texas. The Texas County inmate search guide covers the jail in full.
The Court Case
A DUI charge from Texas County is brought by the District Attorney in the Texas County District Court.
The District Attorney's page SearchSystems verified is at texas.okcounties.org, phone 580.338.3388.

Statewide, OSCN and ODCR are the free online dockets of every Oklahoma district court.
The License Case
The court case is only half the record. Service Oklahoma runs a separate administrative case over the license, which can suspend it before the criminal case is decided, and Service Oklahoma keeps the driving record the conviction goes on.
The Records a DUI Leaves
- The arrest report: from the agency that made the arrest, under the Oklahoma Open Records Act.

- The driving record: from Service Oklahoma.
