If you enjoy an adult beverage now and then, you may be wondering whether you canrefuse a sobriety test in Tarrant County. Texas law is very strict ondrinking and driving, so while you absolutely can refuse to submit to a sobriety test, there are consequences for your refusal.
If you refuse to submit to a sobriety test, the arresting officer mustnotify you that your refusal could be used against you in court. The consequences of refusal are automatic suspension of your drivers license for 180 days and the fact that your refusal can be used against you. An officer may be able to apply for a warrant to obtain a sample.
You have fifteen days following a Tarrant County DWI sobriety test refusal to petition the court for a hearing to challenge your license suspension. If your suspension is upheld during the hearing, you may still to be able to drive if you have an essential reason to do so.

After your refusal, there will be a hearing on whether the Texas Department of Public Safety will uphold your license suspension. For your license suspension to be upheld, the judge must find that these four major elements have been proven by the evidence:
If any of these elements have not been proven, your license suspension will not be upheld.
If you refused to submit to a sobriety test, there are defenses against DWI conviction and ways to get a temporary drivers license.
