DWI/DUI Case Results in Bexar, TX

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 9

Allegations

After a single vehicle crash, officers arrested our client for DWI based on field tests done minutes after the impact. She had suffered a panic attack, briefly fainted, and EMS documented blood pressure around 70 over 50. She voluntarily provided a blood sample and explained she had taken prescribed medication earlier, not alcohol. We compiled the EMS records and other supporting materials to show the tests were administered while she was unsteady from a medical episode. Confronted with that evidence and the weak impairment proof, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Bexar County, CCL5

Allegations

Officers stopped our client after a late-night drive, conducted roadside sobriety tests, and took a station breath sample that registered over .15. We immediately demanded discovery and reviewed the dash and body camera footage, the police report, and the breath-test records, scrutinizing the basis for the stop and how the tests were administered. We developed mitigation by guiding the client to complete DWI coursework, collect character letters, and start community service. Leveraging both pressure points, we negotiated deferred probation in county court. The client avoided a straight conviction while completing terms.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Bexar County, CC5

Allegations

During a late-night traffic stop for speeding, the client was asked to perform field sobriety tests and later provided two breath samples around twice the legal limit. We pulled the patrol video, challenged the basis for the stop where speed was only estimated, and scrutinized the sobriety testing after the officer repeated the eye test and conducted it under flashing lights. We also examined breath test protocols, including observation and potential mouth contaminants. Coupled with character letters and completed classes, we leveraged these issues to secure deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC4

Allegations

After a roadside encounter where officers deployed a Taser, the client was taken to a hospital rather than booked at the scene. A DWI case was later filed. We attacked the state's impairment evidence, emphasizing how the use of force and subsequent medical treatment undermined the reliability of any observations. We made clear we were prepared to litigate those issues. The prosecution agreed to reduce the charge, and the client received straight probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CCL12

Allegations

Stopped for an alleged lane change without signaling, the client performed field sobriety tests in a parking lot and later provided two breath samples around 0.11. We secured the video and breath-test records, highlighting that the eye test was repeated several times and the report described the movement as almost unsafe. We pressed the state on reasonable suspicion, NHTSA compliance, and breath-machine procedures. Using the client’s cooperation and clean history, we leveraged these issues to secure a reduction to a lesser, non DWI offense.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 1

Allegations

After a crash with a commercial truck following a holiday gathering, the client was investigated for DWI. Officers had the driver move the vehicle to a nearby lot, conducted limited field tests, then obtained a breath sample over .15. We pulled every video and maintenance record, and highlighted the contradiction between allowing driving and claiming extreme impairment. With no prior history and proactive class completion, we pressed the state. The prosecutor agreed to drop the .15 enhancement and reduce the case to a lower DWI with deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law, 2

Allegations

After being cut off by another driver and striking a guardrail, our client was investigated for DWI. They admitted to drinking and attempted field sobriety tests, later telling the officer they had not passed. At the jail, a breath test was recorded and the case was filed as a high BAC charge, even though the client recalled lower readings. We scrutinized the stop, the administration of the tests, and the leap to an over .15 allegation. Using those weaknesses, we negotiated with the prosecutor and secured a reduction of the charge.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Bexar County, CCL14

Allegations

The client, on misdemeanor DWI probation, learned of a warrant after alleged violations for leaving the county, missed portable breath tests, and a diluted alcohol screen. We acted fast, coordinated with the prosecutor and probation, and arranged a controlled court appearance to avoid a custodial arrest. We documented gaps in notice about travel limits and secured immediate compliance with fresh negative tests. After a brief compliance window and our presentation, the state withdrew the allegations and the motion to revoke was dismissed.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Bexar County, CCL2

Allegations

After a night out, an argument left our client with the car. When a relative who planned to pick her up was stopped, officers called and asked the client to come to the scene. She arrived, admitted drinking, performed roadside tests, and later blew over .15. We obtained the videos, challenged whether any actual driving was observed, and dissected the field tests for instruction and scoring errors. We also scrutinized the breath test procedure and instrument logs. Leveraging these weaknesses, we negotiated a reduction to a lower-level offense.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 2

Allegations

The client was arrested for a first-offense DWI after roadside sobriety tests. At the station they gave a breath sample under .15, there was no crash, and they remained respectful and cooperative. Our team obtained the video and police report and scrutinized how the tests were administered and documented. We strengthened the defense with mitigation, gathering character letters and documentation of counseling and alcohol-education steps. Leveraging the lower breath result and our mitigation package, we pressed for a non-DWI outcome. The charge was reduced and the client received deferred probation.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Bexar County, CC11

Allegations

After a minor collision, the client pulled into a lot where a heated exchange followed. When officers arrived, they moved straight to an arrest for DWI. The client declined roadside tests and later provided a breath sample reported over .15. We obtained the videos and records, challenged the rush to arrest and the reliability of the breath procedure, and documented the circumstances of the collision. We addressed restitution for the other driver and pressed for a fair resolution. The prosecution agreed to reduce the case to a non-DWI charge.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC9

Allegations

Stopped soon after leaving a parking area, the client was arrested for a second DWI. She declined roadside tests, a warrant issued, and a blood draw later showed an elevated BAC. We reviewed the video, questioned the basis for the stop and the blood protocol, and assembled mitigation, including treatment steps and strong character letters. Emphasizing that the prior DWI was long ago and showing current compliance, we pressed negotiations. The prosecution agreed to reduce the case to a lesser misdemeanor with probation, avoiding second-offense penalties.
