Texas DWI - The Breathalyzer Test

Like all other states, the blood-alcohol concentration limit for drivers in Texas who are over the age of twenty-one is 0.08. Should you be arrested for drunk driving, the state is required to prove you were driving while your BAC was over that limit usually. Should the arresting officer be able to definitively prove through field sobriety tests as well as his own observations that you were mentally or physically impaired while behind the wheel, then even a BAC lower than the established 0.08 may not save you from a DWI conviction. Added to this confusion, it is well-known that breathalyzer tests have serious flaws meaning your DWI attorney may have solid reasons to challenge the reliability of your breath test. The question asked by many is whether or not they should submit to a breathalyzer test at all.
