Follow-up: Former State Representative and HHS Official Sentenced to 6 days of jail for DWI

Jack Stick, a former state official at the center of a contracting scandal at the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, on Friday received a sentence of six days in jail and 90 days without a driver’s license for a DWI case that predated his troubles at the state agency.

Stick, who was convicted by a jury Monday night after pleading not guilty, will receive credit for time he served when he was booked for the 2012 incident and could return to jail for as few as two days.

Stick’s attorney, Brian Roark, said he was happy with the sentence handed down by county court at law Judge Nancy Hohengarten.

“We think the jury made an incorrect decision, of course, but we’re very pleased with the judge’s decision,” he said.
