| A good Dallas dui attorney will tell you that if a second field sobriety test is given then you failed the first field sobriety test and the officer is gathering additional evidence to help the state’s case. The officer is also using this test to potentially ask the detained person additional questions such as how much have your been drinking? And make additional observations. |
| |
| A few of the standard Dallas dui field sobriety tests are the following: |
 |
- Gaze Nystagmus
- One Leg Stand
- Walk and Turn
- Finger to Nose
|
- Backward Count
- Rhomberg Balance
- Finger Count
|
|

If the field sobriety test is videotaped then the jury can see for themselves what transpired. If no video evidence is present the officer should be forced to explain why another police car was not called that had video capabilities, or if his car did have video capabilities and they were not used then this should be used for a compelling case for reasonable doubt.
One critical thing to remember about a Dallas dui is that few cases ever go to trial so police officers do become sloppy because most people take some form of plea-deal. |

| A police officer cannot pull a car over without a legitimate reason. |
