TEXAS IMPLIED CONSENT LAWS
When you received your driver’s license, you agreed to consent to give evidence against yourself by means of a chemical test if you are arrested for driving under the influence. Here is the law spelled out:
Sec 724.011. CONSENT TO TAKING OF SPECIMEN.
- (a) If a person is arrested for an offense arising out of acts alleged to have been committed while the person was operating a motor vehicle in a public place, or a watercraft, while intoxicated, or an offense under Section 106.041, Alcoholic Beverage Code, the person is deemed to have consented, subject to this chapter, to submit to the taking of one or more specimens of the person’s breath or blood for analysis to determine the alcohol concentration or the presence in the person’s body of a controlled substance, drug, dangerous drug, or other substance.
- (b) A person arrested for an offense described by Subsection (a) may consent to submit to the taking of any other type of specimen to determine the person’s alcohol concentration.

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT DWI AND THE LAW
When a driver either fails or refuses to submit to a breath/blood test, they will receive a suspension of their driving privileges. This becomes effective 40 days after the refusal or failure of the test unless his or her attorney requests a license suspension hearing within 15 days of his arrest. This suspension is only automatic if the driver fails to request an Administrative License Revocation Hearing (ALR).
There are three standard physical coordination tests that police often administer before they resort to further testing. These tests include the horizontal gaze test, one-legged standing test, and the walk and turn test. As a general rule (and unlike chemical testing), there is no legal penalty for refusing to take these tests although the arresting officer can testify as to your refusal in court.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I REFUSE A BLOOD OR BREATH TEST?
If you refuse to take the test, you will be facing heavy penalties, including suspension of your license, jail time and ignition interlock devices placed on your vehicle. Your refusal will be used against you in court by the prosecution. You might have a better end result to your case by submitting to the testing, it depends on your individual situation. There are situations where refusal might be to your advantage.
