How long does the state of texas have to conduct Blood Analysis in a felony Dui case? Can synthetic marijuana be tested for, specifically xlr-11?

Richard Keith Oliver
Answered by attorney Richard Keith Oliver (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at The Law Office of Rick Oliver
A jury can convict you if the State can prove you were intoxicated by "reason of the introduction of alcohol or drugs or any combination thereof." So, the short answer is yes, they can get you for the synthetic. There are issues with synthetic in terms of associating it with the illegal drugs enumerated in the H&S Code, though. Beyond the classification issue, there might be an issue with respect to the toxicological effects smoking synthetic would have on you 4 hours after smoking, if they even have evidence to prove that. The DRE exam may be a red herring; or it may be reduced to that. The DRE protocol is supposed to allow the cops to determine which "drug class" your alleged intoxication may stem from. I don't believe synthetic is among the drugs that are included in the DRE protocol. Synthetic isn't MJ; so I wouldn't allow them to testify that the signs and symptoms observed with respect to an MJ investigation are the same as those that should be observed when a person has smoked an entirely different-non-natural, substance. So, there are a lot of issues that can be explored in your defense. If it's your 3rd, you probably already know you're looking at 2-10 years in prison. And, it sounds like this one could be beatable. Hire a good lawyer well-versed in DWI.

What does an officer have to do for a public intoxication charge in Texas?

Answered by attorney Robert L. Keates (Unclaimed Profile)
DUI/DWI lawyer at Keates Law Firm
For a Public Intoxication charge the officer is not required to administer a Breathalyzer test. they may rely on their own observations to determine probable cause for arrest, such as stumbling, slurred speech, or other acts. Of course, those observations are subject to scrutiny in court, and especially a jury trial, where your lawyer can ask about the lack of Breathalyzer use, but it is only one fact to be considered. I would be happy to speak with you concerning your arrest and set up a free phone consultation
