Also, in Texas, don't be too surprised if the police haven't already checked your BAC using other technology available to them before asking you to submit.

I'm curious, how do they sneak a blood, breath or urine sample? I've never heard of this.

Some departments are now equipping these sensors which attack to the top of the cop's little clipboard thing which can get a measure your BAC from a pretty good distance. The cop just leans in a little when he's asking for your information and he's got your BAC.

They don't need your consent for that -- it's not a search because you have no expectation of privacy as to your breath. Neat, eh?
