This area of law is highly technical and complex, involving studies in such fields as anatomy, biology, physiology, toxicology, and chemistry.

It is also important to understand the various legal aspects involved in this field of law, including search and seizure laws, due process, issues with evidence, and much more. There are often complications involved in the tests administered to determine a person's level of intoxication.
Attorney Sloane understands these tests and, consequently, the problems that often arise in connection with results. He has been trained in the correct operation of the Intoxilyzer 5000 breath-testing equipment as used by police officers throughout Texas and has even instructed police recruits in the proper administration of field sobriety tests. Because of this in-depth experience, Attorney Sloane is able to quickly recognize problems or evidentiary issues connected with these tests in a DUI case.
How much is too much alcohol?
You could be convicted of DWI in Texas if you are found to be driving with a blood alcohol contact (BAC) of 0.08 percent or higher. If you are a commercial driver, the BAC limit is 0.04 percent. If you are under the age of 21, any trace amount of alcohol in your bloodstream - as low as 0.02 percent - is grounds for a Texas DWI charge.
