According to the last statement I read, the fight is still on.
Edit; Link: https://www.espn.com/mma/story/_/id...geoff-neal-arrested-dwi-weapons-charges-texas
"Brandon Barnett, Neal's attorney, told ESPN that Neal volunteered for a blood test when he was arrested and his team believes those results will prove that Neal was not over the blood-alcohol legal limit of 0.08%. There will not be a case file produced against Neal until those results come back, Barnett said.
As far as the weapon's charge, Barnett said Neal had a legally licensed gun in his car and that charge only exists because it is illegal to have a firearm in your possession while you allegedly commit a crime. If Neal's blood-alcohol level is below 0.08%, the weapon charge would be dropped as well, Barnett said.
"If it turns out he was not legally intoxicated -- which we expect the blood test will show -- there won't be a gun charge, either," Barnett said."

Then he probably gets his drivers license suspended and has to pay a fine or go to some classes or some shit.Thanks for the update.
Hopefully his blood test comes back clean. Nothing against Neal, but if his back is against the wall especially with his job, he might say anything to prolong the findings.
What if it’s over .08?
I am under the impression that if he is over the limit then there would be a firearm charge added as well. I don't know the laws there but I'm not sure if one is allowed to be in possession of a firearm if said person is intoxicated.

I just guessing that they won't try to make a big deal of the gun charge because it was licensed and because of the associated crime. I wouldn't be saying the same thing if it was a violent crime or maybe drugs or something. Maybe the DA is a factor too?I am under the impression that if he is over the limit then there would be a firearm charge added as well.
