Did you have your BAC retested?

As a criminal defense attorney, it is common to have results of a client’s blood alcohol submission retested. This ensures accuracy, that the previous results were not tampered, and that the prosecuting office still has the evidence to be tested. In drug cases, this is also standard practice, and should always be utilized.

Recently, stories have come out about the potential for tampering at the DPS lab level, where many counties, including Comal, send off their blood alcohol samples to be tested. Just the sheer idea that one can not rely upon these results raises many red flags and should be used in the defense of your case.
