Dallas Drunk Driving Lawyer - Questions

Can a person be forced to take a breath or blood test?

Texas law requires police officers to meet certain requirements before being able to require you to take one of the tests. 1) There is a DWI arrest and an accident; 2) the officer has a reasonable belief that any individual has died or will die as a result of the accident; 3) an individual, other than the person arrested, has suffered serious bodily injury; and 4) the individual arrested for DWI refused to give a specimen voluntarily.
