DWI/DUI Case Results in Bexar, TX

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 - 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.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CCL12

Allegations

Workers reported a car clipping traffic barrels in a construction area, and police arrived shortly after. The client declined a roadside breath test and was taken in where a blood sample was drawn. We obtained the police reports and lab records, highlighted the lack of reliable field sobriety testing, and documented the client's back issues and prescribed injections. We pressed the prosecution on the stop, the medical factors that could explain observed clues, and the handling of the blood evidence. The state agreed to reduce the DWI to a lesser, non-DWI offense, avoiding a DWI conviction.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC8

Allegations

The client was stopped after an officer alleged excessive speed on a highway and directed the vehicle to a nearby side street. Field sobriety tests followed, and the officer had the client repeat the one leg stand even after the client reported a knee issue. A breath test later read 0.084, only slightly above the limit and taken well after driving. We dissected the officer's instructions and timing, documented the knee limitation and repetition of the test, and challenged the weight of a marginal breath result. Faced with those weaknesses, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Bexar County, DC290

Allegations

Police approached a parked vehicle where our client had been for hours after buying alcohol. The client said they had fallen asleep and might have turned the engine off. Only a single field sobriety test was conducted, and no breath test was offered, just a later blood draw. We pulled the videos and reports, underscoring the lack of any driving observations, the limited testing, and scrutinized the statutory warnings and procedures surrounding the blood draw. Using those issues as leverage, we negotiated a reduction to a lesser offense.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 5

Allegations

After a late-night traffic stop for allegedly cutting off another driver, officers noted an odor of alcohol and had our client perform roadside tests. The client declined a breath test and a warrant was obtained for a blood draw. We reviewed discovery, scrutinized the basis for the stop and the testing, and kept pressure on the state in negotiations. The client completed alcohol education and a victim impact panel and provided proof of ongoing treatment, which we submitted in mitigation. With that record, we secured a reduction of the charge.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC9

Allegations

Our client was stopped after speeding and striking traffic cones near a crowded venue area. Officers reported signs of intoxication, and the client acknowledged drinking. They refused field sobriety tests and a breath sample, so police obtained a blood warrant. With a prior DWI on record, the stakes were high. We scrutinized the stop, the warrant, and the blood draw procedures, emphasizing the lack of roadside testing data and presenting mitigation. The case was resolved with straight probation.

Charge

DUI - Class C

Location

Bexar County, Precinct 2 Place 1

Allegations

Stopped for speeding late at night, the officer performed only an eye test and claimed impairment. The client explained a vision condition affected by bright lights, declined a breath test, and no blood was taken. Body camera video had no audio, and dashcam showed steady, controlled driving. The officer then searched the vehicle without consent and recorded inconsistent details on the citation. We obtained the videos and report, highlighted the unlawful search and evidentiary gaps, and pressed the prosecution. The DUI was dismissed.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC 12

Allegations

After a minor collision, our client was arrested for a first DWI with a reported blood alcohol level over .15. We gathered insurance documentation and confirmation from the state that no restitution was owed, removing a key obstacle to leniency. We also compiled months of spotless pretrial compliance and proof of proactive treatment and lifestyle changes. Keeping negotiations focused with the prosecutor and their supervisor, we pressed for relief. The state agreed to remove the enhancement and reduce the charge.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC9

Allegations

Stopped after an officer said they rolled a red light before a left turn, the client was noted to have red, watery eyes and was asked to perform field sobriety tests, which were limited due to chronic back and leg issues. The client elected a blood test, but the draw was delayed while paperwork was corrected. We gathered medical records documenting PTSD, TBI, and eye conditions with light sensitivity that explained the observations, and challenged the stop and the reliability of the tests. After we presented these issues, the prosecutor dismissed the case.
