Consequences of the DWI Breath Test In Houston
As aHouston DWI Lawyer I witness law enforcement use the breath test as a major source of evidence in building a case of intoxication against a driver suspected of being intoxicated. A consequence of not blowing is a possible license suspension. The accused has to make a decision to blow or lose their license. If you don't trust the machine and thus the results should you blow knowing this may lead to a criminal conviction? Of course not. But the consequence may mean the loss of your license. That is why it is imperative that you fight the suspension.
It is important to note that the rules are not created to help the accused. If you win the Administrative License Revocation Hearing and thus your license is not suspended, plus either are found not guilty or have your case dismissed, you still face suspension in the future if you have a refusal within a 10 year period. That's right, even if you are found not guilty and your license is not suspended at the ALR. If you are stopped again and accused of DWI and do not blow, the second contact can lead to a 2 year license suspension.
The best thing to do is not get yourself in the situation, but if you do you must fight it every step of the way. If you need the assistance of a DWI Attorney in Houston please contact our law firm at (713) 877-9400.

An Irishman who recently moved to the United States quickly found the local pub and ordered three Irish Whiskeys in three shot glasses and drank them. He came back everyday after work for a week after which time the bartender suggested he use one shot glass and poor the second and third shots as he finished. The Irishman explained that he needed three glass because he drank in solidarity with his two brothers back home in Ireland. The two glasses were for his brothers and one for him.
