Criminal Defense Case Results in Texas

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Travis County, 331st DC

Allegations

The case began after a crash in which officers contacted our client at the hospital and made a DWI arrest. A preliminary breath test registered about 0.087, and a consent blood draw was later taken. Our team obtained the medical and lab records, scrutinized the collection and reporting of the samples, and examined the scene documentation to question how impairment was assessed in the aftermath of a wreck and medical treatment. We used those weaknesses in negotiations and secured straight probation, avoiding jail time.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Denton County, County Criminal Court #4

Allegations

A traffic stop for suspected speeding ended in a DWI arrest after the officer noted an open container and the odor of alcohol. There were no roadside tests, and the client consented to a hospital blood draw that later reported a high BAC. We obtained the police video, report, and lab paperwork and scrutinized the basis for the stop and the blood-draw documentation. We also had the client complete a DWI class, a victim impact panel, and a substance abuse evaluation. Leveraging mitigation and pressure on the State’s proof, we negotiated the enhancement off the table and secured deferred adjudication.

Charge

Felony Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Collin County, 366th District Court

Allegations

The client was on deferred adjudication for a state jail felony and was accused of violating probation after an out-of-state incident led to two new cases and a claim of unpaid fees. We obtained the probation file, pulled bank records proving all supervision costs and fines were paid, and documented that the out-of-state matters were disputed and unproven. We pressed the state with this record and filed targeted pleadings to address the allegations and the outstanding warrant. The motion to adjudicate was dismissed, the warrant recalled, and the case closed.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Galveston County, 10th DC

Allegations

Stopped for speeding, the client was investigated for DWI. They declined field sobriety and breath testing, and officers obtained a warrant for a hospital blood draw that later reported a high BAC. We pulled the videos and reports, emphasizing the absence of roadside testing and how the footage portrayed the client. We also documented the long gap since prior cases and the client’s proactive steps toward treatment. After sustained negotiations, the State agreed to probation in district court, avoiding prison time.

Charge

Solicitation of Prostitution

Location

Dallas County, 292nd Judicial District Court

Allegations

After an arrest for solicitation of prostitution, our client remained in custody with an immigration hold. We met in jail, pulled the discovery, and opened communication with the assigned prosecutor. The state later proposed a deferred adjudication offer, which we rejected because any plea would jeopardize the client's immigration case. We coordinated with immigration counsel and held a firm dismissal-or-trial position while the evidence was reviewed. The prosecution ultimately dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Denton County, County Criminal Court No. 5

Allegations

After an evening out, the client pulled into a hotel lot to avoid driving farther, but officers followed in, questioned him, and made a DWI arrest. He declined breath testing and consented to a blood draw. Our team moved fast on the license case, preserving his right to a hearing while we tracked the lab work. We scrutinized why he was detained in the lot and the steps officers took during the investigation, and highlighted his choice to seek a room instead of continuing on the road. The case was resolved with straight probation.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Travis County, 460th District Court

Allegations

The client was arrested for a felony DWI after a multi-vehicle crash. Officers alleged intoxication and booked the case as a third offense. We got to work immediately, coordinating release, requesting the ALR hearing, and obtaining the video and lab materials. Our team assembled mitigation, including proof the insurance claim was being handled, an alcohol assessment and treatment records, and strong character letters from family and employer. Leveraging those materials in negotiations, we secured a reduction to a lesser charge with straight probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Brazoria County, CC1

Allegations

The client was stopped for speeding after a long day at the beach with two passengers and was arrested for DWI. They completed field sobriety tests and consented to a blood draw. Our review of the dash and body camera footage showed the officer gave incorrect instructions, a second officer repeated portions of the testing, and the client performed well on the standard walk and balance exercises. Although the blood result later came back high, we highlighted the disconnect between the video and the lab. The case resolved with straight probation, avoiding additional jail time.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, CCL3

Allegations

After a short drive to pick up items, the driver made a wrong turn, was stopped, and arrested for DWI. At the station, an evidential breath test reportedly read around 0.11. We zeroed in on potential problems with the breath testing, including whether two sequential samples were collected within tolerance and whether the observation period and instructions were properly followed. We also front‑loaded mitigation with alcohol education and consistent compliance. Leveraging those points, we negotiated a straight probation outcome.

Charge

Possession of a Controlled Substance (State Jail Felony)

Location

Galveston County, 56th DC

Allegations

Officers responded to a disturbance at a hotel lobby and arrested the client for public intoxication. During the booking inventory at the jail, they claimed to find two blue pills in a wallet, later tested as prescription amphetamine weighing well under a gram. We demanded all body cam and jail inventory footage and pointed out the lack of video documenting the alleged find. We also presented mitigation, including a clean observed drug test and strong character support. After brief drug and alcohol classes were completed, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Travis County, CCL8

Allegations

After a late night collision, our client was taken to a hospital and later arrested for DWI. A roadside breath sample registered just over the legal limit, but the other vehicle had become disabled in a hazardous spot. We pulled scene materials and reports showing investigators did not attribute fault for the crash to our client. We stressed the borderline alcohol reading and the causation issues, and highlighted the client’s lack of prior record and cooperation. The case was resolved with straight probation.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Tarrant County, 396th District Court

Allegations

Police responded to a collision and arrested our client for DWI after field sobriety tests. A hospital blood draw was taken under a warrant and later reported a high BAC. We pulled the videos, dissected how the tests were given, and examined the legality of the draw, confirming phlebotomist credentials, swab type, and the lab’s chain of custody. The client promptly installed an interlock and completed AA and repeat offender classes. With mitigation and evidentiary pressure, we secured straight probation, coordinated for supervision in the client’s home state.
