Mata said his blood alcohol content results came back as over .4, a potentially deadly amount.
"You have to look at the paperwork because it says one thing, but I should have been dead or in a coma, when I was driving, I was fine, that's what I thought," Garcia-Mata said."Other inmates have done more damage and are doing less time, and I'm paying life for this," Garcia-Mata said.More than 4,000 people are incarcerated in Texas for driving while intoxicated. Of those, 21 are serving a life sentence. CrimeWatch reporter Meredith Aldis has the story.
"What about the fact that you could have killed someone?" FOX 7 Austin Crime Watch Reporter Meredith Aldis asked.He said he never received help for his problem. "Maybe if they had given me classes, if they had taught me or showed me that if I could have hit someone or something with a DWI, maybe I could have stopped 11 or 12 years ago," Garcia-Mata said.
Mata said he has stopped, and he has no temptation to ever drink again. Mata is eligible for parole in 2042, he’ll be 74 years old. He said if he does get out, he wants to go back to Mexico and live and work on a farm.that I have read and agree
