Breath & Blood Tests Fierce Representation Paired with Passionate Service

DWI Breath & Blood Tests

Brazoria County DWI Attorney Serving Galveston & Beyond

If you are pulled over in Texas on suspicion of driving while intoxicated (DWI), you will be asked to submit to a chemical blood test or a breath test in order to determine your blood alcohol content (BAC). In this state, a BAC of 0.08 percent or higher is considered over the legal limit. DWI charges are serious and can lead to heavy penalties.

Should I refuse the chemical BAC test?

The "implied consent" law in the state of Texas means that by driving here you consent to take a chemical test if an officer has probable cause to suspect that you have been drinking. If you refuse to take the test, your driver's license will be confiscated and suspended for a minimum of 180 days. If you do take the test and fail it, your license will only be suspended for 90 days. At the time of your arrest, the officer should inform you of this.

Accuracy of Blood & Breath Tests

BAC tests are fairly accurate, but they are not failsafe. Blood tests are considered to be the most accurate form of testing according to forensic experts, but obtaining a blood sample is invasive and difficult. Breath tests, while much simpler to conduct, have a relatively large margin for error.

Even if you fail your test, your case is not lost. Choose an attorney known for fierce and thick-skinned representation. At the Law Office of Steve O. Gonzalez, we are committed to fighting for our clients and getting your freedom back after a DWI arrest.

    I am extremely grateful that Mr. Gonzalez represented me in my case. From the very beginning, he was very communicative and made me feel at ease.

    "Could not have been better"
    Was arrested twice in a very short period for invalid license. I was unaware how seriously Brazoria County takes the charge. I was looking at a class A misdemeanor for the second offense and the state had not filed the first. I thought the best possible outcome could be time served and awaiting first offense but Mr Gonzalez got the second offense dropped to a Class C misdemeanor with $100 fine and no filing of the first case I had not even considered that possible in the outcome could not have been better.

    I was facing a very scary and very serious felony charge and I was innocent! Steve Gonzalez and Kristi fought and got no bill.

    "Phenomenal Lawyers!"
    I cannot stress enough how highly I recommend this law firm. Recently, I found myself in a challenging situation with a DWI and unlawfully carrying weapon case. However, with the expertise and support of Kristina King, I was able to prove my innocence and have the cases dismissed. During the entire process, Kristina was an exceptional guide. She provided me with invaluable assistance, was incredibly informative, and showcased her extensive knowledge in the field. I genuinely cannot thank her enough for all her hard work. Even though most of my interaction was with Kristina, I must say, Steve and Kristina make an excellent team. I can confidently say that Steve and his associates are highly regarded as the best lawyers. I feel truly fortunate to have had such an amazing team on my side, and I will forever be grateful to the law office of Steve O. Gonzalez. Thank you!
