DWI/DUI Case Results in Bexar, TX

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 4

Allegations

A late-night traffic stop for speeding and crossing a line led to a DWI arrest. The client performed roadside tests and later consented to a breath test that read 0.09. At the jail the breath machine shut down mid-test and was reset. We obtained the dash and bodycam along with jail footage, then challenged compliance with the required observation period and breath-test procedures. Using the borderline BAC and those irregularities, we negotiated a reduction to obstruction of a highway with deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC8

Allegations

Police stopped the individual after minor traffic infractions and made a DWI arrest. At roadside the officer performed only the eye test, the client declined balance tests because of a leg injury, and later refused a breath sample. A warrant blood draw registered about 0.098. We secured the video, noted differences between the roadside explanation and the report, and highlighted test limitations and the timing of the draw. Facing those issues, the prosecution reduced the charge to Obstruction of a Highway with deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 14

Allegations

After a multi-vehicle crash, officers arrested our client for DWI and documented an open container in the vehicle. We dug into the police paperwork and crash details, focusing on how the investigation was conducted and the fact there were no reported injuries or added charges from the wreck. We highlighted the ambiguity around who possessed the container and pressed the state on proof of impairment versus accident dynamics. Through negotiation, the case resolved in a plea to probation, allowing the client to complete terms in the community.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 14

Allegations

Our client was stopped after allegedly cutting off another vehicle. Without a license on hand, they declined balance tests due to longstanding leg and back issues, and completed only the eye test. At the station they submitted a breath sample that tested high. We obtained the videos and breath-test paperwork, examined the officer's HGN instructions, the observation period, and machine records, and paired that with proactive classes and character letters. That pressure led to deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC8

Allegations

Police responded after the client’s car hit a curb at an intersection. He reported being diabetic, had skipped medication, uses a CPAP, and admitted to a few beers earlier. Officers conducted field sobriety tests and obtained a voluntary blood draw at the jail. We gathered medical records, documented balance issues, and flagged inconsistencies in the reported location. Leveraging those weaknesses in the stop and testing, we pressed the State in negotiations. The case resolved with deferred adjudication, avoiding jail and keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 12

Allegations

Following a minor crash, officers approached the client in a parked vehicle and made a DWI arrest. The client had limited memory of the event, did not complete standardized field tests, and a breath result was reported near an elevated threshold. We obtained the reports and video, reviewed everything with the client, and gathered strong character letters from supervisors and coworkers. The client also completed recommended alcohol education up front. We leveraged these steps in negotiations, addressed proposed monitoring conditions, and secured a plea to straight probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC6

Allegations

After a late-night traffic stop for an alleged traffic violation and contact with a curb, the client was arrested for DWI. They declined field sobriety tests, and a blood draw was performed under a warrant. We secured the videos and warrant paperwork, compared them to the report, and flagged weaknesses in the basis for the stop and arrest. At the same time, we lined up mitigation, including a DWI class, a victim impact panel, character letters, and an application to veterans treatment court. The case resolved with deferred adjudication.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Bexar County, 186th District Court

Allegations

Police made contact with the client at home after a 911 report of erratic driving. No traffic stop occurred, the client declined field sobriety tests, and a blood draw was later obtained by warrant. We pulled the dispatch audio, dash and body camera, and the lab paperwork, and pressed the state on proving operation and intoxication at the relevant time rather than in a driveway. We also documented that body damage on the truck predated the incident, undercutting any crash theory. Using those weaknesses, we negotiated the felony down to a misdemeanor.

Charge

DUI by Minor (Class C)

Location

Bexar County, Precinct 1 Place 1

Allegations

During a traffic stop for speeding, our under 21 client was cited for DUI after the officer said the car smelled of alcohol. The client was not arrested and provided a roadside breath sample of about 0.03. We obtained the videos and reports, highlighted the sublegal reading, and questioned whether a portable device alone could establish being under the influence. We also guided the client to complete an alcohol awareness course and compiled proof of completion. With those evidentiary issues and mitigation on the table, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CCL14

Allegations

After striking a highway median when a tire likely blew, the client called for assistance. At the scene, officers had her perform field sobriety tests while wearing heels, then two breath devices produced error messages and they obtained a blood sample. We secured the body and dash camera footage and reports, highlighted the testing circumstances and equipment issues, and underscored that she sought help rather than tried to evade contact. The blood result was 0.139, below the enhancement threshold. Leveraging these points and mitigation, we negotiated a reduced charge.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC14

Allegations

After leaving a bar area, the client was stopped for allegedly crossing the center line while pulling out from a parked position. They declined a roadside breath test, and a blood sample was taken later at the jail. The officer directed field sobriety tests between two painted lines with confusing instructions, and the client reported fatigue. We challenged the basis for the stop, pressed for the missing dashcam and blood-draw videos, and reviewed the collection protocols. Paired with proactive classes and character letters, that leverage led to a reduced charge and deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC4

Allegations

The case began after a minor traffic collision. Bystanders pointed officers to a nearby store where our client had stepped inside, and a DWI arrest followed after a forceful takedown. We obtained body-cam and store video, then mapped the timeline from the crash to first contact, pressing the gaps in the intoxication story. We also protected his license by demanding the ALR hearing and, when DPS later imposed a suspension, secured an occupational license so he could keep working. With those issues in play, we negotiated deferred adjudication.
