If someone has been drinking and gets pulled over, it’s easy to panic, but knowing a few key facts can make a big difference. Our partners at Kyle Law Firm are sharing three important things every Texan should know:

  1. Don’t panic. Stay calm, keep your hands visible, and follow instructions.

  2. Be respectful. You don’t have to answer every question, but being polite can help keep things from escalating.

  3. Field sobriety tests are optional. In Texas, drivers are not legally required to perform roadside tests like walking a line or following a pen with their eyes.

Understanding your rights doesn’t mean you’re hiding something. It means you’re protecting yourself.

For anyone facing a DWI stop or charge, Kyle Law Firm offers experienced, judgment-free legal help.

You can call them at (830) 620-9402 or visit their website for more info.
