TEXAS FIELD SOBRIETY TESTS LAWYERS

Evidence Used Against You in Court

Being pulled over on suspicion of DWI or DUI can be a harrowing experience. Following the usual formalities with police, you may be asked to engage in field sobriety tests to indicate whether you are, in fact, driving under the influence of a controlled substance.

Types of Field Sobriety Tests in Texas

Field sobriety tests can include:

• Walking in a straight line
• Putting your finger to your nose
• Reciting the alphabet backward
• Taking blood and breathalyzer tests
• and many more.

FEILD SOBRIETY TESTS

Once you agree to take these field sobriety tests, the odds of guilt immediately begin mounting against you. Field sobriety tests are completely subjective, and you can fail the test even if you are sober, or bordering on the legal blood alcohol limit of 0.08. Even worse, police employ communicative tactics to trick you into making DWI mistakes and failing the tests. Regardless of the outcome, following a field sobriety test, the best strategy is to call an experienced DWI defense lawyer who can fight for your rights. The Woodlands legal team at Morgan Bourque Attorney at Law knows how to challenge the validity of field sobriety tests, the authority of the officer and the charges that might arise.
No two potential DWI scenarios are identical. Beyond whether you were under the influence of drugs or alcohol, all the circumstances during the field sobriety tests can influence the outcome, including:

• The driver’s mental and emotional state
• Medications used by the driver
• The location of the test
• The driver’s overall health
• and even the time of day, among other factors.

Police can exploit these, and several other details to ensure you fail the test. Morgan Bourque Attorney at Law knows how to spot these tricks and how to challenge the results.
