Austin DWI Defense Lawyer

What is Blood Alcohol Content (BAC)? 

BAC (blood alcohol content) is a very important factor to determine whether or not a person suspected of DWI (driving while intoxicated) is actually guilty. When an adult has a BAC of 0.08%, then they are considered to be legally intoxicated under Texas Law. However, when a person is under the age of 21, they can be charged with DWI or DUI (driving under the influence) even if they have only a small trace of alcohol or drugs in their system. 

Law enforcement determines a person's BAC by administrating a blood test, breath test or urine test. All three tests are considered to be very reliable by law enforcement, although there can be many issues that can result in false readings and results. For instance, a person who reads a blood or breath test may not be properly trained to do so, or a person may have an existing medical condition that can result in inflated, false results.
