The moments after an officer pulls you over for a DWI can be disorienting. However, it is important to take the following steps to protect yourself and the outcome of your future trial.
If a police officer pulls you over on suspicion of a DWI, it is important to comply with his or her instructions. Under Texas’s implied consent laws, you need to submit to a DWI blood or breath test if the police officer requests you to take this test. You can receive a license suspension between 180 days to 2 years for refusing DWI sobriety tests.
