DWI/DUI Case Results in Atascosa, TX

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 - Second Offense

Location

Atascosa County, County Court at Law

Allegations

After a traffic stop for swerving when reaching for a dropped phone, the client admitted to drinking and officers noted an open container. No field sobriety tests were performed, there was no roadside breath test, and a blood draw was later taken by warrant. We focused on the weak roadside investigation, the validity of the warrant process, and whether required warnings were given. With a prior DWI already on record, we pressed these issues in negotiations. The case resolved with straight probation, sparing the client additional jail time.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Atascosa County, County Court At Law

Allegations

After a rollover crash, the client reported swerving to avoid another vehicle. They were evaluated at a hospital and later learned a warrant had issued, leading to a second-offense DWI charge. Records showed the statutory warning was signed and testing was consented to. We obtained the 911 audio and scrutinized the crash narrative, pressing that the incident was a reaction to another driver rather than simple intoxication. Confronted with these weaknesses, the prosecutor agreed to reduce the charge.
