Intoxication can be demonstrated by analyzing the concentration of alcohol in the breath, urine, or blood. In Texas, you could face DWI charges if your BAC is over the legal limit:

  • .08 percent or higher - All drivers
  • .02 percent or higher - Minors under the age of 21
  • .04 percent or higher - Commercial vehicle drivers

Using Breath Tests in DWI Cases

Breath tests, such as the breathalyzer or intoxilyzer are commonly used to determine BAC levels in a roadside test or test at the police station. Breathalyzer test results, however, can be proven inaccurate and withheld from your case. Mrs. Tucker's law firm works with experts to assess the validity of the breathalyzer test results and challenge the evidence in court. Mrs. Tucker has attended numerous courses on the breathalyzer testing machine. Her comprehensive understanding of breath tests enables her to effectively investigate and challenge how the breathalyzer test was administered, or how the machine was calibrated or maintained.

Using Blood Tests in DWI Cases

Although historically blood tests were considered to be the more accurate method of determining blood alcohol concentration levels, this method was not the preferred method in most cases simply because of the expense involved. However, the use of blood tests in DWI cases is increasing in Texas and throughout the country. It is imperative to have effective experts to testify about the weaknesses in blood test results. Mrs. Tucker's firm uses highly regarded experts to analyze blood test results and challenge critical issues, such as procedural errors in blood draws or miscalculation of alcohol "wearing off" in the time lapse between the arrest and the blood draw.

If you plea, you lose. Let Mrs. Tucker review your case in order to determine if challenging breathalyzer test or blood test results should be considered in your DWI defense strategy. Contact the Law Office of Kimberly Griffin Tucker today.

WHAT FORMER CLIENTS SAY:

Since meeting you, you have made us feel like we were your only clients, which I know is definitely not the case!!!!! You have always been readily available, sincere, kind, and extremely helpful. You showed that you were truly interested in my sons case, and ultimately in his future (which is huge!!) In today's society, you don't meet many people that care as you do. I had many sleepless nights; feeling so guilty for doing an injustice to my son by hiring another attorney before finding you. I cried, and prayed, and then I found you. So, I wanted to express our sincere thanks for all of your efforts. You have worked wonders! The grace and professionalism in which you handled matters is a true testament to your passion and dedication. I will sing your praise to all!! You are good people! And should I ever know of anyone who may need an attorney, yours will be the name I give.
