DWI/DUI Case Results in Bexar, TX

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Bexar County, 187th District Court

Allegations

After a crash at an intersection with another vehicle, our client was arrested and charged with a third DWI. No injuries were reported, and a bond interlock was ordered, which the client promptly installed and documented with pretrial services. We obtained discovery, including police reports and blood draw records, and scrutinized the basis for the stop, the arrest, and the sample handling. We highlighted the long gap since prior cases and consistent compliance with conditions. With no serious injury allegation, we steered negotiations to probation, and the case resolved in straight probation.

Charge

Open Container of Alcohol

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 11

Allegations

After a traffic stop, the officer reported an open alcoholic container visible in the passenger area and cited our client for open container. We obtained body and dash camera footage and the police reports, then dug into why the vehicle was stopped, how the container was discovered, and whether its location met the statute. We pressed weaknesses in the proof during negotiations and made clear we were prepared to litigate them. The prosecution agreed to reduce the charge, avoiding the harsher consequences of the original allegation.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 14

Allegations

Our client was stopped after a lane change without signaling. The officer noted alcohol, administered field sobriety tests, and arrested the driver, who later registered around 0.20 on a station breath test. We obtained the video, scrutinized how the tests were given, and demanded the intoxilyzer calibration and maintenance files. We also built mitigation, including completion of a DWI education course, AA attendance, character letters, and employment documentation. Leveraging these issues and materials, we negotiated removal of the .15 enhancement and a reduction to a standard DWI with deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 11

Allegations

After a traffic stop, the client pulled into a parking lot before stopping. The officer observed an open alcohol container, conducted field sobriety tests, and, after the client declined a breath test, obtained a warrant for a blood draw. We obtained the video and paperwork, scrutinizing the basis for the stop, the administration of the tests, and the blood draw procedures. We emphasized the client’s clean history and leveraged these issues in negotiations. The prosecution agreed to reduce the charge to a lesser offense with deferred terms.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 11

Allegations

After a traffic stop, the client was arrested for DWI with an alleged BAC over .15. We secured the video, police reports, and testing records, then targeted weaknesses in the proof of the elevated BAC and the observations used to justify impairment. We contrasted the officer’s narrative with what appeared on camera and pressed the state on evidentiary gaps. With that pressure, the prosecution agreed to reduce the charge. The client avoided the higher-grade DWI and received straight probation on the lesser offense.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Bexar County, CC5

Allegations

After striking a median and blowing out tires, the client pulled over and was contacted by police while stopped. Officers conducted field sobriety tests and used a roadside breath device that read above .15. No evidentiary breath or blood sample was taken later. Our team obtained the videos, dissected the test administration, and challenged the state’s attempt to rely on a portable device to enhance the case. Confronted with these issues, the prosecution dropped the enhancement and reduced the charge, and we negotiated deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 6

Allegations

After a single-vehicle crash into a utility pole, officers conducted field sobriety tests. The client fell during testing and had visible bruising and a recent head impact, along with documented balance and orthopedic issues. Police later obtained a warrant for a blood draw after alleging a breath-test refusal. We obtained the bodycam and dashcam, secured the 911 audio, and subpoenaed the blood lab records. Citing accident-related injuries and medical history, we challenged the reliability of the testing. The state reduced the case to a lesser charge with deferred probation.

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 - 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 - 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.
