Implied Consent Law in Montgomery County, Texas

Giving Consent for a Chemical Test

In Texas, as in many other states, when you obtain a license to drive a motor vehicle, you consent to submitting to a Blood Alcohol Concentration breath and/or blood test if you are arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated. Attorney Douglas W. Atkinson has been representing DWI clients since 1998 and has helped hundreds of clients avoid the harsh penalties and long term consequences of being convicted of DWI.

Should I Refuse?

There may actually be cases in which the most prudent thing to do when faced with a DWI arrest may be to refuse to submit to a BAC breath or blood test, particularly in cases when police are engaging in illegal activities, and have violated your rights in the police stop or search. The lack of chemical evidence in your case may help you to avoid the penalties of a DWI conviction, but carries some heavy risks.

However, this is not always the case. Police can also use their eyewitness testimony of your behavior and actions when being pulled over under a suspicion of DWI, including what they observed immediately prior to pulling you over. Police are not always truthful, and are extremely loyal to one another. That doesn't mean you should suffer the consequences of an illegal act.
