DWI/DUI Case Results in Texas

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Comal County, County Court at Law 2

Allegations

After a traffic stop for exiting a one-way street the wrong direction, the client was investigated for DWI. Field sobriety tests on video looked mostly steady, but a blood test later came back just under 0.15. We reviewed the footage, emphasized the nonessential questioning and the client’s test performance, and pressed those points in negotiations. Using the borderline BAC and evidentiary concerns, we secured deferred adjudication probation. Terms included required classes and an ignition interlock, avoiding a conviction on the record.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Comal County, County Court at Law 2

Allegations

Officers responded to a rear-end crash and questioned our client, who admitted drinking earlier while traveling. Only partial roadside tests were attempted after an airbag deployment and chest pain, and a hospital blood draw later reported a very high BAC. We reviewed the videos and reports, flagged how injuries and stress impacted testing, and scrutinized the warning and consent process. We also built mitigation, documenting months of AA, consistent sobriety monitoring, completion of required classes, and character support. The state agreed to probation, avoiding jail.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Travis County, County Court at Law, #6

Allegations

Officers found our client asleep in a parked vehicle in a large store parking lot and broke a window to wake them before making a DWI arrest. We secured the police reports and any recordings, then dissected the timeline to show there was no proof of recent driving. We challenged the justification for forcing entry and the reliability of any impairment observations made immediately after a sudden wake-up in a confined space. After sustained negotiations highlighting these evidentiary gaps, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CCL12

Allegations

Stopped for an alleged lane change without signaling, the client performed field sobriety tests in a parking lot and later provided two breath samples around 0.11. We secured the video and breath-test records, highlighting that the eye test was repeated several times and the report described the movement as almost unsafe. We pressed the state on reasonable suspicion, NHTSA compliance, and breath-machine procedures. Using the client’s cooperation and clean history, we leveraged these issues to secure a reduction to a lesser, non DWI offense.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Dallas County, County Court of Criminal Appeals No. 2

Allegations

The client was stopped for a lane violation and arrested for a second offense DWI. Officers conducted roadside tests, and a blood sample was taken later under a warrant. We obtained the discovery and the warrant paperwork, scrutinized how the tests were administered, and examined the basis for the stop and the handling of the blood. We laid out those proof risks to the prosecution and made clear we were prepared to litigate them. The prosecution agreed to reduce the case, and the client received straight probation on the lesser charge.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Denton County, County Criminal Court #4

Allegations

After a late-night traffic stop for lane weaving, the client was arrested for DWI. They did not complete field sobriety tests and declined a breath test, and officers obtained a warrant for a blood draw that later came back high. We pulled the patrol video, reports, and warrant paperwork, then met with prosecutors armed with mitigation the client completed early, including the DWI class, a substance abuse evaluation, and a victim impact panel. We also addressed a bond compliance issue head-on. The result was straight probation with manageable terms.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bell County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

After a tire blowout caused a single-vehicle incident, officers noticed empty cans and put our client through roadside tests. He explained long-standing balance and respiratory issues, and an officer even remarked on his careful maneuvering to clear traffic. We gathered medical records, tied the crash to mechanical failure, and emphasized his clean history. Leaning on those points, we pressed for an alternative resolution. The state agreed to deferred probation with a class, interlock, and fines, keeping a conviction off his record if he completes the term.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Denton County, CCC5

Allegations

After parking and walking away from the vehicle, the client was contacted in a commercial area and arrested for DWI. We secured surveillance showing the client arriving, exiting, and remaining away from the truck, with no officer or witness who could place intoxication at the time of driving. We highlighted missing body camera footage, questioned the officer’s field test qualifications, and noted quality control issues with the blood lab, which was drawn under a warrant later. Confronted with these weaknesses, the state reduced the case to a lesser charge with straight probation.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 1

Allegations

After a crash with a commercial truck following a holiday gathering, the client was investigated for DWI. Officers had the driver move the vehicle to a nearby lot, conducted limited field tests, then obtained a breath sample over .15. We pulled every video and maintenance record, and highlighted the contradiction between allowing driving and claiming extreme impairment. With no prior history and proactive class completion, we pressed the state. The prosecutor agreed to drop the .15 enhancement and reduce the case to a lower DWI with deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Atascosa County, CCL

Allegations

Following a traffic stop, the client performed field sobriety tests, blew on a roadside device, and later provided a breath sample at the jail. Our team quickly obtained the dashcam video, police reports, and breath test records. We reviewed the HGN, walk-and-turn, and one-leg stand administration, and scrutinized the breath testing paperwork for procedural issues. Leveraging our workup and mitigation about the client's future goals, we pressed for a resolution that avoided a conviction. The state agreed to pre-trial diversion.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CCC5

Allegations

Officers responded to a minor single vehicle crash. The client cooperated, completed field sobriety tests, and later provided a breath sample at the station. We reviewed the dash and body camera video, which showed strong balance and coordination and even uncertainty from the officers about impairment. The breath test was taken long after driving and registered only slightly above the legal limit, undermining its value. We presented those weaknesses and made clear we were ready to litigate. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Tarrant County, D213

Allegations

After a late night traffic stop, the client was arrested for a third DWI. Officers ran roadside tests and drew blood, which later showed multiple substances. We scrutinized the reason for the stop, how the tests were given, and the handling of the blood evidence. We also documented recent treatment and strong family support to mitigate risk. With those challenges and mitigation on the table, we negotiated straight probation, avoiding a prison sentence.
