Survival Tips

Chris Samuelson's Glove Compartment Guide for Drivers Stopped for DWI in Texas

  1. You do NOT have to answer any questions other than name and address. Don't provide any information about alcohol consumption. Ask for the opportunity to have an attorney present for any questioning.
  2. Do not agree to perform roadside tests if you are intoxicated, or if you have an injury or illness that might affect your balance and coordination. If you do have such an injury or illness, be sure to tell the officer about it.
  3. Do not agree to have your eyes tested.
  4. Do not agree to blow into a handheld breath tester.
  5. Do NOT consent to a breath test, if you are asked to take one. Only consent to a blood test if the officers are able to produce a warrant, signed by a judge.
  6. Be polite and courteous at all times. Produce requested documents.
  7. Tell the officer you'll be happy to cooperate if you can speak to an attorney about your rights first. Ask for a lawyer immediately.
