Texas BAC Test Lawyer
After being stopped for suspected DWI, the police have all of the advantages when it comes to having you submit to a blood test. It's a troubling fact that, even if you refuse a breath test, the authorities have the legal capacity to force you to take a blood test. Just because they get the test results, though, doesn't mean that you don't have a case for an effective defense. You still have your civil rights on your side.
At the Law Offices of Jed Silverman, we don't roll over and give up on your defense, just because the prosecutor says your blood test resulted in above a .08 blood alcohol content. We have been successfully defending people charged with DWI in Texas courts for many years. We have seen the mistakes police and testing labs make, and we can often get your blood test results thrown out of court. Without their only piece of evidence, the prosecution often doesn't have a case.
Some possible reasons why your blood test results may be invalid:
- Did the police have a legally obtained warrant to draw your blood?
- Were you fully advised of your rights prior to drawing blood?
- Was the test equipment calibrated and the lab certified?
- Did you receive a health screening prior to drawing your blood?
- Was the blood drawn in a sanitary environment and properly handled and stored
Changes in the Law
Blood test laws changed this year when the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that it is not unconstitutional for police to get a warrant to draw your blood. In fact, the police have the right to force you to take a blood test under any circumstance.
