DWI/DUI Case Results in Bexar, TX

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC9

Allegations

Stopped after leaving a bar, our client was arrested for DWI following roadside tests. The officer had them perform nonstandard exercises and balance tests despite a known leg injury, then labeled the poor performance as a refusal. The client initially agreed to a blood draw, asked to speak with a lawyer, and that request was also treated as a refusal before a warrant was obtained. We obtained the videos and reports, showing flawed instructions and unreliable testing conditions. We challenged the refusal designation and the basis for the blood warrant. Confronted with those issues, the state dismissed the case.

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC9

Allegations

Police stopped our client for speeding after leaving a gathering. The officer claimed signs of intoxication, but the client admitted only to having a few drinks and declined all field sobriety tests and a roadside breath test. A blood draw was later taken under a warrant. We obtained the reports, warrant affidavit, and lab records, and challenged the basis for the stop and the sufficiency of the warrant and sample handling. After sustained pressure and notice of our suppression arguments, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 11

Allegations

After a minor fender bender, our client exchanged insurance information and waited for police. Officers questioned the client about prescription medications, requested sobriety tests, and the client declined. The client consented to a vehicle search, which turned up nothing illegal and only a cup of water. The state relied on officer observations rather than a breath result. We obtained the videos and reports, underscored the minimal damage, clean search, medication issues, and lack of standardized testing. Faced with those weaknesses, the prosecutor agreed to reduce the charge.

Location

Bexar County, CC4

Allegations

Police responded after a rear-end collision caused by a sudden stop ahead. The client admitted to a few beers about an hour earlier, performed roadside tests, and was arrested for DWI. Our team dug into the crash and incident reports, the timeline of drinking, and the blood draw paperwork, and pressed the State on how much those results actually proved impairment at the time of driving. We also presented mitigation, including no prior record. The prosecutor agreed to a reduced charge with credit for time served.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC4

Allegations

Police responded after a minor collision with a parked vehicle, and our client was arrested for a second DWI after leaving a bar. He reported a gap in memory and believed he had provided a breath sample. We secured the patrol video, reports, and testing records, and dissected the stop, the field evaluations, and the breath procedure. We also assembled mitigation, highlighting that no one was injured and addressing bond conditions and license matters promptly. After sustained negotiations, the prosecution agreed to reduce the charge.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC15

Allegations

Our client was stopped for swerving and speeding after leaving a restaurant. They were driving a manual transmission SUV with oversized tires that pulled right under throttle and left when decelerating, something the officer acknowledged after moving the vehicle. Field sobriety tests followed, but the client's dried contact lenses made the eye test difficult, and no roadside breath test was given. A blood sample was drawn. We focused on the vehicle handling issues, the compromised eye test, and the absence of a roadside breath result. The prosecution agreed to reduce the charge.

Allegations

After a minor collision, officers investigated and arrested our client for DWI. The client admitted to having drinks, refused a breath test, and a blood draw was taken at a hospital under a warrant. We dug into the paperwork and digital evidence, noting gaps in the report and delays in the state's discovery. When the case continued to stall, we asserted the client's speedy-trial rights and set the matter for a dismissal hearing. Faced with a thin record and our motion, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CCL4

Allegations

After a minor bump at a light in a parking area, police stopped our client and reported an odor of alcohol. The officer conducted field sobriety tests at the scene, but no roadside breath test was given. At the station, a breath sample registered 0.11. With no prior record and ongoing eye issues while taking multiple antihistamines, we explained how those factors could affect balance and eye tracking. We scrutinized the SFST instructions and the reliability of the observations, then pressed these issues in negotiations. The case resolved with deferred probation.

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC15

Allegations

The client was stopped after an alleged stop sign violation and arrested for DWI. They performed roadside tests, refused breath and blood, and officers later obtained a blood draw by warrant. We pulled the dash and body cam video and the report, then broke down the field tests step by step, flagging errors in how the HGN was administered and contradictions with the written narrative. We delivered that analysis to the prosecution and kept the pressure on. Faced with compromised key evidence, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC5

Allegations

Police found our client asleep behind the wheel on a roadway, woke them, moved the car to a lot, and arrested after the client declined field sobriety tests. A blood draw was taken by warrant and later alleged a high alcohol level. We pulled the dash and body-cam video, scrutinized the warrant affidavit, the statutory warnings, and the handling of the sample. We pressed the gaps in proof of impairment at the scene and the paperwork issues with consent. The pressure led to a reduction to a lesser charge.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC12

Allegations

After leaving a gathering, the client drove a short distance home, fell asleep at the wheel, and had a minor collision with no injuries. Officers conducted field sobriety tests at the scene and later obtained a breath sample at the jail. We scrutinized the field tests and breath-test handling and litigated a contested issue about a subpoenaed witness. We also compiled mitigation, including proof of interlock compliance and costs, insurance payments, completed classes, and strong school records. The state agreed to reduce the charge to a non-DWI offense with deferred probation.

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 5

Allegations

After a crash at an intersection, the client called for help and was investigated for DWI. Officers said they observed intoxication, located beer in the vehicle, and conducted only limited field sobriety testing even though the airbags had deployed. A breath test was taken. We pulled the video and crash records and documented the client’s injuries and post-collision disorientation, which undercut reasonable suspicion for the tests and the arrest. Confronted with those problems, the prosecutor agreed to reduce the charge to a lower-level DWI.
