DWI Blood Tests in Houston
Blood Testing in DWI Cases
The evidence in a DWI case typically includes the results of field sobriety testing, as well as a breath or blood test. While blood test results are considered more accurate than breath tests, there are still many ways blood test results can be challenged, including:
- The use of improper testing procedures
- Contaminated samples
- The test was administered by an untrained or unqualified individual
- Outdated test kits
- Incomplete test kits
- Lab errors

Houston DWI Lawyer
You can be charged with DWI if your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is 0.08% or greater. Your BAC is established with a breath or blood test at the time of your arrest. Challenging the results of blood tests can be an important part of your defense, and could lead to a case dismissal. The firm has the skills and resources to detect any flaws in the testing equipment and procedures that were used that led to your arrest.
Aggressively fighting DWI charges is extremely important, and should begin the moment you are arrested. The penalties for a conviction in a DWI case can result in jail or prison time, fines, alcohol or drug treatment, license suspension and vehicle impoundment. If you have a prior DWI conviction, sentencing is heavier. Jim Medley is committed to aggressively defending clients against DWI charges, and an evaluation of blood test evidence should take place immediately.
