Baseball coach gets Texas DWI conviction

Dallas, TX - Augie Garrido, a popular Texas baseball coach, was convicted for drunk driving and sentenced to four days in jail by Judge Elisabeth Earle .

Because of this Texas DWI, Garrido also had his driver's license suspended for 90 days after the misdemeanor first-time offense and fined $500 .

Michael Burnett, Garrido's lawyer, said Travis County jail officials will decide how long to keep Garrido. The 70-year-old Garrido received two days' credit when he was arrested and could earn the other two days simply by getting processed.

The baseball coach has 1,679 victories and five national championships, including two with the Longhorns. He fell a game short of another title last month when Texas lost the deciding game of a best-of-three championship series to LSU.
