From my experience, many people believe that they passed their sobriety test when in reality they do not know what the officer is looking for when they have a person performing the test. It depends on many factors and you will have to hire an experienced criminal defense attorney to evaluate your case. Additionally, there is an obvious difference of opinion between you and the officer on whether you passed the test or else you would not have been charged. Consult a criminal defense attorney, most offer free consultations.

No, all the testing methods show the same result if taken at the same time. The courts would not accept results if they weren't accurate every time. A little free advice: When arrested for DUI, whether alcohol or drugs, then upon release from jail or booking the defendant is given documents that include a notice that you have only ten days to file a request with DMV for a hearing on an appeal of the automatic suspension of your license imposed by DMV upon your arrest. That is separate and runs consecutively with any suspension that may be imposed by the DMV, or the court upon conviction. Contact DMV and do so, timely if you think you have grounds for appeal, then appear at tne scheduled DMV appeal hearing and present any supporting evidence and testimony. If you don't know how to do these things effectively, then hire an attorney that does. When charged with any crime, the proper questions are, can any evidence obtained in a test, search or confession be used against you, can you be convicted, and what can you do? If you don't know how to represent yourself effectively against an experienced prosecutor intending to convict, then hire an attorney who does, who will try to get a dismissal, charge reduction, diversion, program, or other decent outcome through plea bargain, or take it to trial if appropriate.

There is a common misconception that Driving Under the Influence is different than Driving While Intoxicated. In fact, in Texas there is no difference. The State may prove loss of normal use of mental or physical faculties by introduction of alcohol or drugs into a person's body. The case that is filed is no different and it does not matter if you ingested drugs or alcohol.
