Explaining My Texas DUI

I am so ashamed to be writing this, but as the dean of your college, I feel that I need to explain my Texas DUI. I have always stood for proper behavior, and abstinence from drinking, drugs and rock and roll, but my wife convinced me to celebrate our anniversary with her in her favorite bar. She has been going there for years with her friends, and as a role-model for college students I have always refused to go with her. That night, she could sense how uncomfortable I was, and kept refilling my glass of beer, so that I didn't realize how much I had actually drunk. I thought I was fine, and in good enough shape to get behind the wheel, but I guess I wasn't. I got caught, and now I am facing a Texas DUI.

Stepping Down Because of My Texas DUI

I do not want you to think that the reason drinking and driving isn't a good idea is because it could cause potential embarrassment. A Texas DUI is not just a mark of shame on my personal and professional record, it is a sign that I put other people's lives in danger. Thank God, I got pulled over before an accident happened. Nobody was hurt. Only my sense of self-worth was destroyed. My Texas DUI puts me in the position of having to step down as dean, and face the consequences of my actions. Please know that I am deeply regretful for my actions and do not want to ever hear of a student who also has a Texas DUI on their record. A Texas DUI is not something for this school to be proud of. All I ever wanted was for the school to be proud of its dean, me.
