DWI/DUI Case Results in Austin, TX

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Bell, TX

Allegations

During a late-night traffic stop for alleged weaving, an officer claimed to have followed our client from another town, a detail that conflicted with the client’s actual route. The client attempted sobriety testing, completed the eye test, then stopped the walk-and-turn, and later provided a breath sample reported above the legal limit. We dug into the basis for the stop, the inconsistency about where the pursuit began, and the breath testing procedures. Leveraging those issues in negotiations, we secured a reduction to a misdemeanor with straight probation.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Travis, TX

Allegations

Facing a second DWI arrest, the client was looking at enhanced penalties. We obtained the video, police reports, and lab documentation, then broke down the basis for the stop and how the field tests and sample collection were handled. Our team flagged weaknesses in the proof and prepared suppression arguments and trial exhibits to put real risk on the state's case. After sustained negotiations, the prosecutor agreed to reduce the charge. The client avoided a harsher second-offense conviction.

Charge

DWI - Class B

Location

Williamson, TX

Allegations

After a traffic stop for speeding, officers found empty cans and began a DWI investigation. The client admitted to having a few drinks earlier. Field sobriety tests were conducted on a sloped, wet surface despite a prior foot injury, calling the results into question. The client refused a breath test, and a blood sample was later taken at the jail, where an inexperienced officer handled the process. We obtained video and lab materials, challenged the testing conditions and chain of custody, and used those issues to negotiate a charge reduction.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson, TX

Allegations

Following a traffic stop, officers conducted roadside sobriety tests and arrested our client. At the station, the client provided a breath sample that reportedly measured over 0.15. We dug into the field evaluations and the breath test process, pressing on reliability and how the results were obtained. We also pushed back on the officer's observations and preserved all available defensive angles for court. After sustained negotiations, the State agreed to reduce the charge.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Travis, TX

Allegations

After a first-offense DWI arrest, our client sought help to minimize the impact on their record and daily life. We obtained the case materials, evaluated the evidence, and compiled mitigation demonstrating accountability and steps taken after the arrest. We engaged the prosecutor and advocated for a community-based outcome. Through sustained negotiations, we secured a straight probation resolution. The client accepted probation and continued with daily responsibilities under supervised terms.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Williamson, TX

Allegations

After a traffic stop for dim brake lights and a few miles over the limit, the client was investigated for DWI. They never admitted to drinking, performed field sobriety tests, and later provided a breath sample that the state alleged was over .15. We obtained the police reports and discovery, questioned the basis for the stop and the administration of the tests, and highlighted the client's clean record. Through persistent negotiations and mitigation, the prosecutor agreed to pre-trial diversion.
