Depends.  Were you swerving? Did you have a tail light out? Did the officer randomly check your tags? As long as the officer has reasonable suspicion, he or she can pull you over.  I am assuming you were arrest and something was found in your car or you were arrested for drunk driving.

Talk to your public defender or hire a criminal defense counsel at www.attorneypages.com.  Check his or her record at the Texas State Bar.
