DWI/DUI Case Results in Austin, TX

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Travis County, CCL3

Allegations

Police alleged our client was involved in a minor traffic contact near an active scene and then moved the individual across the roadway for field sobriety testing. The client admitted to drinking and reported not completing all of the tasks. At the station, two breath samples registered over .15 roughly an hour after arrest. We challenged the administration of the roadside tests, the basis for the initial contact, and the timing and maintenance records for the breath device. Confronted with these issues, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Travis County, County Court at Law #6

Allegations

After a nighttime stop, officers arrested our client for DWI following a breath test reported over .15. Moments before the stop, the occupants had switched seats, creating a real dispute over who was actually driving. Years later, the old warrant resurfaced and we took over the case. We demanded video and testing records, scrutinized the officer's instructions and the device documentation, and pressed the state on driver identification. After we raised significant evidentiary concerns, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Class B

Location

Travis County, County Court at Law #8

Allegations

Officers stopped our client after noticing the vehicle riding on a flat tire and arrested for DWI. The client denied drinking at the scene and declined the roadside breath test. There was no breath or blood sample, leaving the state with only observations and field notes. We pressed the limits of the stop and the reliability of the impairment evidence, and highlighted the absence of any chemical proof. After negotiations and early intervention, the prosecutor agreed to place the case into pre-trial diversion.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

Stopped after a 911 report of swerving, the client explained they had reached down for a dropped water bottle. They denied drinking, but the officer noted an alcohol odor. The client performed field sobriety tests and later provided a breath sample at the station, which they understood to be on the lower side. We scrutinized the reports and evidence, stressing the limited driving facts from a third-party tip, the benign explanation for lane position, the clean record, and the modest breath result. The State agreed to pre-trial diversion.

Charge

DWI with Child Passenger

Location

Williamson County, County Court at Law #3

Allegations

Staff at a childcare facility reported that our client appeared intoxicated when arriving with a young child in the vehicle, and police made an arrest for DWI with a child passenger. Discovery later showed a high alcohol reading and a case built largely on staff observations and officer notes. We obtained the police reports and evidence, identified evidentiary gaps and procedural issues in how the investigation unfolded, and assembled strong mitigation from treatment and monitoring. We pressed those points in negotiations. The state filed a dismissal.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Travis County, CC3

Allegations

Police responded to a call that someone parked and stumbled into a bar. Officers found our client inside and noted intoxication. The caller was never identified or produced, and the state relied on vague statements from staff. We zeroed in on the timeline, arguing they could not prove when any driving occurred as opposed to drinking after arrival. We pressed the missing witness issue and made clear we were prepared to challenge the evidence. Confronted with these proof problems, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Travis County, County Court at Law #7

Allegations

Stopped for swerving, our client admitted to drinking, attempted the field sobriety tests, and then consented to a breath sample. Yet the license paperwork listed the case as a refusal, creating a mismatch with the officer's reports. We collected the records, documented the discrepancy, and addressed weaknesses in the observations that led to the arrest. Using that leverage in negotiations, we steered the case away from a permanent conviction. The matter concluded with deferred probation.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Hays County, County Court at Law #2

Allegations

Officers found the client asleep in a fast food drive-thru with the vehicle in park. After roadside tests, they were arrested and later provided two breath samples over .15. We obtained the videos and breath records, noted the limited driving evidence, and compiled strong mitigation including early completion of alcohol education and a victim impact panel, plus a clean history. We pressed these points with the prosecutor and negotiated a reduction to a standard DWI with deferred probation.

Charge

DWI >.15

Allegations

The individual was pulled over at 1 a.m. for dim brake lights and speeding. The client was arrested after comple field sobriety tests and a breath test.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Travis County, cc9

Allegations

After a collision, the client admitted to drinking and was arrested for DWI. Officers documented field sobriety tests and a breath test that read 0.08. We obtained the police reports and evidence and parsed each step of the stop and investigation. We emphasized the borderline reading and the absence of prior history. Through targeted negotiations, we persuaded the prosecutor to reduce the charge. The client accepted a reduction with deferred probation, avoiding a harsher outcome.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Travis County, County Court at Law #9

Allegations

After a single-vehicle crash, officers found our client unsteady and conducted roadside tests on uneven ground, including grass by a parking area. The client had just struck a pole, the airbag deployed, and there was a head impact, yet testing proceeded. A breath attempt failed, and a later warrant blood draw allegedly showed a high BAC. We obtained bodycam and 911 audio to document crash effects and compromised testing conditions that explained the balance issues. Combined with the client's swift completion of alcohol education and other compliance, we leveraged these problems with the evidence. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Travis County, County Court at Law, #9

Allegations

Police stopped the client after a minor parking lot maneuver. He admitted to drinking earlier and performed field sobriety tests. A roadside breath test, and a later test at the jail, each read 0.10. We secured the jail medical records showing extremely high blood sugar and documented diabetes, consistent with the balance and coordination issues the officer relied on. We challenged the weight of the FSTs and questioned whether the stop and observations fairly showed impairment. Confronted with those issues, the state dismissed the case.
