Travis County attorney not to pursue DWI charges against Judge Gisela Triana
Travis County Attorney David Escamilla said Monday he will not pursue a drunken driving case against a district judge arrested in March and will reduce her charges to a class C speeding misdemeanor ticket after test results show she was below the legal limit for intoxication.
Austin police arrested Judge Gisela Triana on March 20 near Barton Springs Road and Mopac Boulevard (Loop 1). An affidavit said she told the arresting officer that she had consumed four drinks that night, including two during a taping of “Jimmy Kimmel Live” at the Long Center.
Triana, a civil judge in Travis County since 2005, had two more drinks at Zax Restaurant & Bar, according to the affidavit. The document said Triana had an empty bottle of Mike’s Hard Lemonade in the center console of her Chevy Suburban.
On Monday, Escamilla said Triana had a blood alcohol level of 0.076, just below the legal level of 0.08.
