University Of Texas Football Player Lamarr Houston Charged with Texas DWI in Austin

Lamarr Houston DWI: Starting defensive tackle Lamarr Houston for UT arrested for DWI in Austin just hours after opening game win.

University of Texas defensive tackle Lamarr Houston was charged with driving while intoxicated in Austin, Texas a few hours after the Longhorns defeated Florida Atlantic 52-10.

Houston was a starter in the season opener for the Longhorns Saturday. He was arrested after a minor two vehicle accident in the Sixth Street entertainment district around 3:15 Sunday morning.

According to the Austin police department, no one was injured in the wreck.

Last season the Texas football program was wracked by 6 players being involved with criminal arrests, including two charges of drunk driving in Austin. Head coach Mack Brown released the following statement Sunday evening after visiting with Houston and his family and had expressed disappointment in DWI arrest:

"We decided that he will not be making the trip to El Paso and play in this week's game," Brown said in a prepared statement. "He asked to apologize to the team and did so at our team meeting earlier [Sunday]. The issue will be handled within the team and any further action will be addressed at the appropriate time."

If you have been arrested for a DWI in Austin, Texas you will need to hire an Austin DWI attorney to help fight your drunk driving charge.
