DWI Walk And Turn Test Houston Texas
Sep 17th
Reader’s Question:
I was lucky enough not to have been charged with DWI after being pulled over a few days ago here in Houston, Texas. During the stop, I was asked to do some tests like walking on a straight line among other things. I knew that the officer was looking for a clue that I was intoxicated, if he found at least one clue, will I be charged with DWI then?

DWI lawyers in Houston, Texas usually see the walk and turn test offered with only an imaginary line. It would be difficult to tell that the test would be hard without the studies. DWI lawyers would also commonly see their clients who were ordered to stand heel to toe while the instructions are delivered. Standing in this unnatural pose for one minute while listening to a police officer for important instructions may be more challenging than intended.
It is generally common for a police officer to identify one (and only one) clue would seem to indicate probable impairment. An example is that a police officer would generally say that a DWI suspect “stumbled on the turn.” But according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Study, this would amount to only one indicator of impairment and does not show that the accused is probably impaired.

Selecting DWI lawyers may seem difficult at first and let me warn you that it’s not a good idea to hire the first lawyer that you meet. There are so many lawyers in Houston, Texas who don’t limit their practice in defending DWI and criminal cases and some of these lawyers only handle a few cases a year. Some lawyers may even be incompetent or inexperienced and don’t have much knowledge about DWI.
For you to be able to find the best lawyer, you must know some things that could help you narrow your search. You have to find out if the firm have lawyers who are highly experienced in defending DWI cases and these lawyers are those who limit their practice to DWI defense. The lawyer you would hire should also have access to the State’s most experienced expert witnesses on the forensic testing of breath and blood alcohol. You would also know if the lawyer is ethical if you ask him/her if they make promises as to the results that they can obtain. The answer should always be no, because specific results could not be predicted accurately. Lastly, I strongly suggest you not to hesitate to ask the lawyer if their firm would actually handle your DWI case or would sign you up and refer you to another firm or lawyer.
