HIGHLIGHTS

DWI defense is one of the most challenging and technical areas of criminal law. With hundreds of hours invested in

Grant share with you their most effective strategies.

New material in this edition of Texas DWI Manual includes:

• Who is eligible.

• The requirements and procedures for obtaining it.

The Intoxilyzer 9000

The Intoxilyzer 9000 will soon be replacing the Intoxilyzer 5000 in Texas. New text explains:

• Key differences between the Intoxilyzer 5000 and the Intoxilyzer 9000.

• Documents to request in discovery regarding the Intoxilyzer 9000.

Plus, contributing author Mark Theissen provides an insightful article explaining how the Intoxilyzer 9000 works and

detailing its many inherent problems that are ripe for cross-examination.

The Disconnect Defense in a Blood Test Case

Complementing Mark Thiessen’s thoughtful article on the disconnect defense from the last edition is a trial transcript

question key witnesses. Included are:

• The direct examination of the defense toxicologist.

• The DA’s cross examination of the defense toxicologist and the defense redirect.
