Don't mess with Texas! Should've happened after 3. How long before he gets out?

I feel like you have to really go out of your way to get 9 DUI's

Well technically it's 9 since 1980 so that's only one every 4 years or so. If you drink a lot that's not very often.

I think once you get the first one, you are screwed for life. Every time a cop runs your plates, they will see that dwi on your record and automatically pull you over, whether you were driving dunk and erratically or sober and safe.

I can't speak for DUIs 1 through 8, but for number 9 he hit a car head on and tried to run away on foot.

I got one 11 years ago and I've only been pulled over one time since and it was 1am and I made a u-turn in the middle of the road. Luckily I wasn't drinking but they did spend a lot of time asking me questions to convince themselves of that.

I don't know how often cops are just running random plates but the chances of that being the reason you get pulled over seem pretty low. If it were true, I would still have no issue with it.

What does "life" mean in this case?

Will he actually be there forever or not?

If you get caught 9 times that means you did it every day.

This won't go over well, DUI/DWI are no big deal on this board.

I sure as hell got lucky then. I haven't even drank in years but I had to have driven drunk more than 80x. I'm always amazed and thankful when I reflect on how stupid my decisions were.
