OPINION
TAFT, Justice.
Appellant, Timothy Lee Mehaffey, pleaded guilty to the offense of driving while intoxicated (DWI). The trial court sentenced him to one-year confinement, probated for two years, and a $750 fine. Appellant challenges the trial court’s rulings on two pretrial motions: (1) a motion to dismiss because the videotape of his sobriety tests had been erased or destroyed; and (2) a motion to quash the enhancement paragraph of the information because his prior conviction for DWI had been set aside and the information dismissed when the probation was terminated early. We affirm.
