A Harris County jury cleared the 32-year-old point guard of the misdemeanor.
He went to court Wednesday when his driving while intoxicated trial begins.
He appeared before Harris County Court at Law Judge Jean Spradling Hughes as a jury is picked to hear allegations that Alston was driving drunk about 3 a.m. August 7.
