EtG / EtS Urine Testing in Houston
Certified Alcohol Metabolite Testing for Houston, Katy & Harris County
EtG / EtS Urine Testing detects alcohol consumption by measuring two metabolites your body produces after processing alcohol: ethyl glucuronide (EtG) and ethyl sulfate (EtS). Unlike a breath test, which captures real-time impairment, this urine-based method can identify drinking that occurred up to 80 hours before the sample is collected. That extended detection window makes it a common choice whenever confirming recent abstinence matters more than measuring current intoxication.
The collection is non-invasive and straightforward. You provide a urine sample, and our certified collectors handle every step from there using documented chain-of-custody protocols.

Who Orders EtG / EtS Urine Testing
Three groups account for most EtS urine testing in Houston:
- Courts and probation programs: Harris County courts and probation offices frequently require alcohol testing to verify abstinence as a condition of pretrial release or probation. An 80-hour detection window provides meaningful coverage between scheduled check-ins.
- Employers with zero-tolerance alcohol policies: Companies operating under non-DOT workplace policies use EtG / EtS testing to monitor compliance. Note that DOT-regulated employers must use breath alcohol testing for federal compliance; EtG / EtS urine testing is a non-DOT method.
- Individuals and families: Personal accountability, recovery monitoring, and family situations all bring people in for testing outside any official program. We handle these requests with the same confidentiality we extend to clients.
For employers who need more than a single test, we also offer on-site mobile testing, policy creation, and ongoing program management.

What to Expect at Your EtG / EtS Testing Appointment
Bring a valid photo ID and any paperwork from an employer, attorney, or court so results can be matched to your specific testing requirement. If you don’t have a referral document, we can still help. The collection itself takes only a few minutes, and chain-of-custody documentation is completed on the spot, creating a legally defensible record for courts and employers.
Results from our lab partner are typically available within 24 hours. We can let you know how and when to access them before you leave.
What EtG / EtS Results Confirm and What They Don’t
A positive EtG / EtS result confirms that alcohol was consumed. It doesn’t indicate how much was consumed or whether the person was impaired at any specific moment. Ordering parties should also know that highly sensitive EtG tests can occasionally register incidental exposure from alcohol-containing products like mouthwash or hand sanitizer, so context matters when interpreting results.
Because breath alcohol testing is required for DOT-regulated compliance, EtS urine testing in Houston is used for non-DOT purposes: probation programs, employer workplace policies, and personal monitoring. If you’re unsure which method fits your situation, call us before scheduling.
