Driving Under the Influence of Drugs (DUID)

DUI Lawyer in Houston, Texas

Driving under the influence of drugs is a very serious charge in Texas. If a law enforcement agent suspects that you are driving while under the influence of a narcotic, he or she will probably request that you submit to a blood or urine test to determine the substances in your body during the time of arrest. The Martinez Law has been able to suppress or keep out evidence of drug use in trials when the police officer did not request a test despite the person admitting to the use of drugs.

It is very important to understand that even if you have a legal prescription for a drug, you can and will be charged with driving under the influence of drugs if your driving was impaired and you were shown to have had an amount of a narcotic substance in your body. For this reason when you are pulled over and the officer suspects DUID, you may be asked to complete field sobriety tests. These tests are designed to test your physical agility, balance and equilibrium. They are not chemical tests and do not show if you are on drugs. They simply show how able your ability to complete physical tasks, such as walking along a line.
