  • Most large North Texas counties have magistrates on standby to get a warrant for blood if you refuse to give a sample of breath or blood? As a result, there is no such thing as “No refusal weekend” anymore.

  • You have a right to refuse to perform the field sobriety tests? In other words, the United States Supreme Court does require you step out the vehicle.
  • The National Highway Safety Administration (NHTSA)’s standardized field sobriety tests have been subject to scientific peer review criticism? For example, Doctor Spurgeon Cole study and Doctor Steve Rubenzer paper both criticize the SFSTs.
  • Texas law requires that all Texas DWI blood test submissions include a margin of error?
  • There are all kinds of scientific issues and concerns with proper breath and blood testing? For instance, fermentation can be a large problem in testing blood.
