I got pulled over in texas and my bar brake light is out but my brake lights on my tail lights work properly, and I got arrested for a dwi can I get this thrown out for not being a valid reason to stop me.
While Section 547.323 of the Transportation Code says only two lights are needed, Section 547.3215 requires compliance with current federal regulations. Current federal regs require two side lamps plus a center lamp. There is Texas case law finding that the Transportation code requires *all three* lamps to be in working condition if the vehicle is being driven on public roads (for an example, please lookup Schwintz v. State, 413 S.W.3d 192 (2013)).
