Here is the number of arrests and convictions for each offense listed under Transportation Code 524.011 over the last six years.  Crime Records says it will take more time to get a breakdown by county, but could have it by tomorrow late afternoon. 

 

Arrests			Convictions
2005	99,519		2005	63,559
2006	103,136		2006	63,248
2007	103,155		2007	65,825
2008	101,623		2008	61,914
2009	102,823		2009	59,257
2010	98,184		2010	32,497

 

There were 8,481 arrests for these offenses in December 2010, and 3,784 convictions.  Given the time it takes to go through the judicial process, it is unlikely that a person arrested in December would also be convicted in December, so take that for what it’s worth.

 

Let us know if you have any other questions!

 

Thanks,
