My friend was charged with a dwi and an open container in TX.He has asked me to appear in court and claim the container as my own since i was with him.At the time i said it was mine but they charged him.His lawyer told him if I do this, they will drop the charge and let him drive again. I would have no problem doing this but,I'm on probation. He says I won't get in any trouble but I'm not sure if his lawyer is being honest or not.

1) Do not LIE to cover for another person. 2) If you are on probation, you are not supposed to have alcohol or drugs so even if you do not get charged with an offense, your probation can be revoked.

An open container is a Class C ticket, like speeding. A open container with a DWI means the driver would have to do 3 days in jail for that open container. So really just depends on you. Open container tickets are pretty cheap and easy to defend. Maybe all should talk and work something out.
