State Rep. Rene Oliveira D-Brownsville, has been arrested and charged with driving while intoxicated, according to authorities.
Oliveira, chairman of the House Committee on Business and Industry, was arrested Friday night and charged with DWI, a class B misdemeanor, Brownsville jail officials said. He was released on $2,500 bail Saturday morning.
(Other reports indicate that he refused to take a breath test and that he was taken to Valley Baptist to have blood drawn. The results of that blood test will be available within a few days.)
"Last night I made a mistake in judgment, and thankfully, no one was injured. I sincerely apologize to my family, friends, colleagues, and most especially to my supporters," Oliveira said in a statement. "I am embarrassed, but grateful no one was hurt."

(Unconfirmed reports indicate that the incident occurred near the intersection of Central and Boca boulevards and that the car he struck was carrying a child in the back seat. We are awaiting the release of the police report to confirm this.)
He is currently fighting for re-election. Last month, Oliveira was forced into a May 22 runoff against primary opponent Alex Dominguez, a Cameron County commissioner.

STILL voting for Rene, Juan! Dominguez is from La Feria, Buey!
The man is out most evenings drinking in bars and pressing the flesh. Some flesh he presses harder than others. I am quite surprised he has made it this long without getting picked up for DWI, although he has had some close calls.
I doubt if this will have much impact on the election. Folks will still vote for him, because they want favors and access to his influence. His decades in public office has given him a very large Roladex and a tall stack of IOUs. This is how public service is measured down here.
Don't drive drunk, call a friend.
MAY THE DEMS HAVE THE GOOD SENSE TO SEND THIS GUY PACKING. HE HAS BEEN AROUND TOO LONG AND IS A POOR ROLE MODEL FOR THOSE WHO HAVE ANY SENSE AND PROPRIETY.
Karma always seems to manifest itself at the worst possible moment for the individual involved.
We all make mistakes,throw the first rock, We all make mistakes !!!!
red shot eyes. he looks like he's holding back the vomit!
LOL
He Needs to go to rehab he abuses alcohol and all the elected officials turn the other way no one has the balls to face the truth the man is an alcoholic get him help it’s a disease
What a "pendejo". Usually he has a woman with him....could it have been Captain Bob Sanchez's former wife?? Or, was it just another one of his babes with only a mouth and a vagina. Rene is a scumbag.
50 years leaving the scene of the accident, jeopardizing or endangering a child, drunk as a skunk, under the influence of a control substance, hiding to avoid prosecution show Texas that no elected official or public servant is above the law. 50 years just like the fajita bandit...
Bring panales back in to administer the sentence!
Refusal to take a breath test is grounds to suspend his drivers license. Is that going to happen. He now has to hitch-hike to Austin.
He's already had two accidents on Central and Boca Chica, that we know of.
As drunk as he looks, remember that is hours after the initial stop. By the time the police arrived transported him to hospital, checked him in and drew the bLood then transported him to jail and finally booked him thats 3 or 4 hours.
He had a loong time to sober up.
If i was the victim i'd sue the bar, proly cobbleheadds, for continuing to serve him after he was noticably intoxicated.
Russian mafia is linked to Peru is linked to Austin and the rest is politics as usual.....
Refusal!!
Drinking and Driving!
Motor vehicle Accident!!
Why was his mugshot not made public just like the regular citizens? This drunk has not done anything good for the community.
Where is the integrity and transparency BPD? Chief Rodriguez owes and explanation.
I told you all he was garbage
Whatever. They are still going to give this idiot a free pass to re-election. This is what the valley is known for on voting for these losers. It's no surprise that he was drunk. Wasn't he involved in two other accidents and he got away? And we continue to vote for him?? Lanraza never learns. I wouldnt be surprised if he also was under the influence of other substances besides alcohol. Keep on voting for these people Cameron County.. that's why the valley never prospers..It's about time.he got caught but the sad part is he will be re-elected and Luis will reduce these charges to a lesser charge of wreckless endangerment and will go to Pre-trial diversion probation. The same sentence given to Joey de la Garza and will have a clean record after that....
This is a case of mistaken identity, cried the Black Mamba Rene Oliviera. I would never have left an accident and driven home with 2 flat tires, I had the flat tires outside my house. Why would I have my girlfriend lie for me when I am untouchable. Lets see them proove any of this bullshi, I am UNTOUCHABLE, yes untouchable just wait and see, just put your x by Scumbag and sebd me to Austin before I win this charade.
Ya se te acabó el corrido vato
Montoya que feo esta este guey feo feo feo como es posible que haya estado en el poder mas de 30 anos y que la gente siga botando por el cuando se es un borracho y este haciendo deciciones por nosotros.CIUDADANOS DE ESTE DISTRITO FFIJENCE COMO ESTE GUEY ABRE LSO OJOS DE "PEDO' ASI HABRANLO USTEDES Y NO VOTEN POR ESTE BORRACHO.
Great picture of old "bug eyes" Oliviera. That should be his official photo. What a dumbass to get arrested just before the runoff election. He is not smart enough to effectively serve anymore. Get rid of his ass. Time for Rene to be put out of office. Let him spend more time at Cobblehead's drinking his life away.
I believe Briwnsville PD has not updated their inmate list for the weekend so that they wont have to answer to not posting Rene's mug.
Where is his orange outfit? He was sent to valley Baptist for blood drawn, his buddies like manny vela, and will huges are his bodies and will flake the blood work, you can count on that. After all
rene knows about all the fraudulent cover-up autopsies performed at valley Baptist.
Leaving the scene of an accident while intoxicated not goood!
That is not my blood cried the black mamba Rene Olivera mine is clean, as I did not drink that whiskey, or snort that cocaine, ask my partner, she wouldn't lie. Ha Ha, another one bites the dust.
Karma? who said that, middle-aged Martha? His old Hanna classmate that stated he squeezed her? but then is seen at a reunion months later at Cobblehead's all smiles with him looking cool, (trying to) in her dark sunglasses? I think she liked it. What's wrong with you women, who complain, but don't slap these overpowering men in the face? have some dignity in yourselves!!!
He has invested so much in that place, you would think, they would call him an Uber?!?!
Ay raza!!!!! que mal nos haces ver...
He's got my vote.
Don't be a dirty Valley Mexican - don't drink and drive. Don't be like Rene "El Turdito" Oliveira. The "D" is for dumb.
If I were Alex Dominguez - Id be offering the victim free legal fees and sue the heck out of the DWI driver who struck a vehicle while driving intoxicated and fled the scene of a crime, without rendering help, otherwise know as, the criminal.
It already started: wake up a magistrate (special treatment)not toll his car (special treatment) release early (special treatment) not in orange jumpsuit (special treatment) the lexus driver lied to police (special treatment) refuse breathalyzer (special treatment) a child present during accident more charges should have been filed by Pd(special treatment) and this only what was made public. WHEN IS THIS GOING TO END!
Hopefully he can get some help.
Out of control and gonna kill someone od himself
Put him in a sanitarium and get electrical shock treatment
After six months he'll be just fine and maybe amount to something.
God bless you Rene and good lyck
Prayers for all elected officials needed as nearly all are "idiots".
He was still standing with his mouth open, it hasn't been proven he was drunk, someone could have slipped him a pill in his water.
Shocking picture juan, Rene looks like he is doing COCAINE and booze. puro Vato Loco
We at la calle catorce well him any time. Pura raza carnal viva pancho villa uuy uuy uuy.
They don't call him Ren'e ex for nothing, or secondhand Oliveria for nothing.
I shall state I made that statement while in shock that was caused by a car reversing into me when I was at the traffic lights, I shall sue her just, or I might take her to lunch when Lorrie is not looking.
Only a racist white republican can get away with something like this.
Intoxication Assault charge..Evading Arrest? So much special treatment.
Anonymous at 2:30..Would you please stop posting your lame comments , Robert? Show some dignity and try to be a man. Get on with your life. You posting childish comments every hour and Lorrie getting "black mamba" every day. Grow the fuck up!
False report to a peace officer
Failure to stop and render aid
Leaving the scene of A Crime
Tampering
Official opression
Reckless driving
Failure to control speed
Following too closely
Assault times the number of passengers in other car
Maybe even no insurance
The list goes on ...
