Texas Supreme Court

Albert Mireles, Jr., Petitioner v. Texas Department of Public Safety, Respondent

December 9, 199943 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 169

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court affirmed the Court of Appeals' judgment, holding that unextrapolated breath‑test results are sufficient evidence of a driver’s blood‑alcohol concentration at the time of driving for purposes of an administrative license suspension, and that such results are admissible without a separate reliability analysis because the legislature has recognized the scientific theory and technique behind breath tests.
