Did you know it’s perfectly legal for an adult over 21 years old in Houston Texas to drink alcohol and then drive? So long as that adult maintains his/her mental and physical abilities and is not “intoxicated” (BAC under .08%). One of the main issues with most sobriety tests in Texas is that they don’t give you the complete picture of what that person who’s being accused of DWI / DUI is feeling or has been through, nor does it determine that persons normal state of mind.
A person may be tired, nervous, have a medical condition or even just scared of a police presence which can cause a failed DWI sobriety test.
Montesquieu
Assume you are being audio and video recorded. Be polite to the police officer and don’t be combative – save that fight for the courtroom. Listen to the officer and follow his/her instruction but refuse to take any sobriety test offered or given. Most importantly, exercise your right to remain SILENT, no one can force you to speak. Do not engage in conversation further after you’ve refused to take a sobriety test. If you’re taken to jail remain silent and contact a DWI defense lawyer in Houston.
Being rude will not help your case. “Yes sir/ma’am”, “No sir/ma’am” are good choices.
Follow the officers instructions, do not be confrontational.
Refuse all sobriety tests. Even completely sober people can fail them.
Mike’s goal at Mike Kohler Law is to get your DWI court case dismissed or fines reduced as much as possible.
