DWI/DUI Case Results in Bexar, TX

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC 11

Allegations

Police stopped our client for alleged erratic driving and arrested them for DWI. They admitted to drinking, attempted roadside tests despite an old Achilles injury and knee issues, and later gave a breath sample over .15. We dug into the videos and reports, highlighting how those medical limitations affected balance and pressing the state on missing roadside body-cam. The client completed alcohol education up front. Using that leverage, we negotiated a reduction to a lower charge with deferred probation.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 14

Allegations

The client was on deferred probation for a misdemeanor DWI when a motion to revoke was filed alleging travel outside the county, missed portable breath tests, and a diluted or positive alcohol screen. A warrant issued. We stepped in, coordinated with probation and the prosecutor, and arranged a controlled court appearance to avoid a jail booking. We negotiated a short probation extension with strict testing and documented compliance. After the client completed those terms, the state withdrew the allegations and the motion was dismissed.

Charge

DWI with Child Under 15

Location

Bexar County, Pre-indictment District Court

Allegations

After a late-night traffic stop with a child in the vehicle, the client was arrested for DWI with child. He performed field sobriety tests and later provided two breath samples at the station, both below the legal limit. We obtained body and dash camera footage and the breath-test records, and scrutinized the stop and test administration. The videos showed cooperative performance and no clear basis for impairment. We pressed the lack of proof of intoxication at the time of driving in pre-indictment talks. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 6

Allegations

The client was stopped for driving without headlights. The officer reported an odor of alcohol, conducted roadside sobriety tests, and made an arrest. At the station, the breath test took multiple attempts because the machine kept malfunctioning. We obtained the dash and body camera footage, scrutinized how the field tests were instructed, and emphasized the breath-test irregularities along with the client’s clean history and cooperation. Facing these issues, the prosecution agreed to reduce the charge, and we secured deferred probation on the lesser offense.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC2

Allegations

After a traffic stop for fluctuating speed, the client was investigated for DWI and declined a roadside breath test. Officers proceeded with a blood draw, and the timing of the statutory warnings and consent became a key issue we focused on. The field sobriety tests occurred while the client was anxious, needed a restroom, and did not have corrective lenses, all of which can affect performance. We obtained the video and reports, highlighted instruction and procedural problems, and noted a blood result only slightly over the limit. Leveraging these weaknesses, we negotiated deferred probation to avoid a conviction.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CCL9

Allegations

After a traffic stop, the client was arrested for a first DWI when a roadside breath test indicated a result at or above the legal limit. Our team stepped in quickly, took over from prior counsel, and obtained the police reports and testing records. We pressed the state on proof issues and emphasized key mitigating factors to secure an outcome that avoided jail exposure and minimized collateral consequences. The prosecutor agreed, and the charge was reduced.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC4

Allegations

After a traffic stop for speeding, our client was investigated for DWI. They performed field sobriety tests and later had a blood draw after declining a breath test. There was no crash and no passengers, and the client made no admissions. We pressed for full discovery, scrutinized the basis for the stop, the administration of the roadside exercises, and the blood-draw paperwork and procedures, and signaled readiness to litigate. The State dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, None

Allegations

Police approached our client while dealing with a flat tire and initiated a DWI investigation. The client agreed to a blood draw at a hospital, which later came back at 0.00 for alcohol. Despite that result, the officer pursued a drug screen that dragged on for months without clarity. We secured the lab documentation, pressed for full discovery, and highlighted the weak indicators of impairment given the mechanical issue and how the roadside evaluation was handled. Meanwhile we monitored for any warrant activity and kept pressure on the reviewing attorney to make a charging decision. With no reliable evidence of intoxication, the case was dismissed.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Bexar County, CCL6

Allegations

Officers responded to a rear-end crash and arrested our client for DWI after the client admitted to drinking, refused a breath test, and was subjected to a blood draw by warrant. We obtained the crash report and discovery, pressed for the blood lab file and any video, and documented gaps and inconsistencies in how the investigation was written up. After the state refiled the case with a high BAC enhancement, we challenged their ability to proceed and set the matter for a contested hearing. Facing evidentiary and timing problems, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, None

Allegations

After a late-night traffic stop for alleged swerving, the client performed field sobriety tests and later provided a breath sample below .15. We secured all videos and reports, pressed for missing dash footage of the stop, and found the investigation was led by a very new officer who gave flawed instructions on key tests. The footage showed the client did not appear as impaired as reported. We prepared suppression arguments on the stop and the SFSTs, and used that leverage in negotiations. The prosecution agreed to reduce the charge, and the client received deferred probation on the lesser offense.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Bexar County, CCL11

Allegations

The client was stopped late at night after leaving two bars and arrested on suspicion of DWI. Unsure of the reason for the stop, the client declined field sobriety tests and the breath test, and a blood draw was later obtained by warrant. We pulled the dash and body camera videos, scrutinized the basis for the stop, and tracked the lab process. At the same time, we built strong mitigation with early DWI coursework, AA attendance, and interlock compliance. Leveraging both fronts, we negotiated deferred probation, avoiding a conviction and minimizing jail exposure.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 4

Allegations

The client was stopped for alleged swerving and given roadside sobriety tests. Despite reporting a prior spinal condition that affects balance, the tests proceeded, the client was arrested and the vehicle was searched. After a refusal at the station, officers obtained a warrant and a blood sample was taken well after the stop. We reviewed video and records, emphasizing the medical limitations, the absence of any admissions, and the delay in the draw. We pressed these weaknesses with the state, and the charge was reduced with deferred probation.
