Houston DUI Breath Test Lawyers
Lawyers Fighting Breath Test and Field Sobriety Results
Houston, Texas, DWI and DUI Defense Law Firm
The law office of Terry W. Yates & Associates is the place to find an experienced criminal defense lawyer and former prosecutor who understands the nuances of Texas drunk driving law and the weaknesses of breath test evidence and field sobriety test results.
Breath tests and field sobriety tests are notoriously unreliable and can be successfully challenged in court. There are several reasons for this:
- Operator error: Many police officers do not have adequate training to operate field breathalyzer machines or to administer and evaluate field sobriety tests with the rigor demanded by law and by National Highway Traffic Safety Administration guidelines.
- Machine miscalibration: Mobile and stationary alcohol breath test machines are only accurate if they are properly calibrated and maintained. We have the skill and experience to prove that improper maintenance rendered the breath test results inaccurate.
- Procedural mistakes: If your attorney can show that the initial traffic stop was unwarranted or that the drunk driving arrest violated your rights, it is very likely the entire case will be dismissed.
If you were arrested for drunk driving, your best defense may be to challenge the breath test, field sobriety test or blood test evidence with the help of a knowledgeable and experienced defense lawyer.

Using Police Videos to Challenge Breath and Field Sobriety Test Evidence
The accomplished attorneys of Terry W. Yates & Associates have substantial experience in using the prosecution's own evidence to successfully challenge breath test and field sobriety test results.
It is shocking how many times a drunk driving case comes down to the arresting officer's interpretation of whether or not the driver was legally impaired at the time. We will subpoena the roadside stop video and booking video in your case. These can be highly effective tools in proving to the jury that you were not visibly impaired and that the arrest was unwarranted.
