OPINION

Opinion by Justice HINOJOSA.

A jury found appellant, Candy Morris, guilty of the offense of driving while intoxicated (“DWI”), 1 and assessed her punishment at confinement in the county jail for 120 days. By three points of error, appellant contends the trial court erred by: (1) denying appellant’s motion to quash the information; (2) refusing to suppress the results from the officer’s administration of the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus (“HGN”) test and admitting evidence of intoxication based on those results; and (3) refusing to grant a requested jury instruction. We affirm.
