DWI/DUI Case Results in Collin, TX

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Collin County, CCL3

Allegations

Our client pulled to the shoulder after striking debris in the road and waited for a ride, eventually falling asleep in the parked car. Officers arrived and made a DWI arrest. The client declined roadside sobriety tests, an attempted breath test was inconclusive, and a consensual blood draw followed. We scrutinized the reports and blood documentation and challenged whether the state could prove both operation and impairment given the parked vehicle and lack of field tests. After sustained negotiations, the case was resolved with deferred adjudication.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 1

Allegations

Officers responded to a single-vehicle incident and arrested our client for DWI. The client declined field sobriety testing and refused both breath and blood, so police obtained a warrant and a hospital blood draw. We scrutinized the basis for the investigation, the warrant process, and how the sample was collected and handled, and made clear we were prepared to litigate suppression issues. After negotiations focused on those evidentiary problems, the case resolved with straight probation, avoiding jail time.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 2

Allegations

Years after a first‑offense DWI stop, a missed court date left an old warrant active. The client was detained during air travel and hired us to resolve the matter without repeated court trips. We obtained discovery and found the case lived only on paper, with no blood results and uncertainty about any breath test. We challenged whether any video still existed and whether essential witnesses for the field tests could be produced. With appearances waived and trial as our fallback, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Collin County, CCL5

Allegations

The client was stopped after a minor curb strike while leaving a lot. Officers noted the odor of alcohol and the client admitted to drinking. The client declined a breath test, a warrant was obtained, and a blood draw later reported a very high BAC. We obtained and reviewed the videos, field test administration, warrant paperwork, and lab records, then advised that trial risk was significant. Leveraging the client’s clean history and proactive steps, we negotiated deferred adjudication, avoiding a conviction if probation is completed.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 3

Allegations

The client was stopped after a wide turn during a late-night drive. Officers conducted field sobriety tests, the client declined the roadside breath device, and a consensual blood draw was taken later. We secured the dash and body camera footage and reviewed the discovery, which documented lane weaving, several test cues, and a blood result over the legal limit. After candidly assessing trial risk with the client, we focused negotiations on keeping a conviction off the record. The case resolved with deferred adjudication and a term of deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 2

Allegations

The client was stopped for a traffic violation and investigated for DWI. They admitted to drinking, completed field sobriety tests, and provided two breath samples around 0.11 to 0.12. Our team secured the patrol video and testing records, then closely examined the justification for the stop and whether the standardized tests were administered by the book. We used our analysis to press the state for a non‑conviction resolution. The case concluded with deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the client’s record.

Charge

Misdemeanor Motion to Revoke Probation

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 4

Allegations

While on misdemeanor DWI probation, the client faced a motion to revoke after an ignition interlock fail and reporting problems following an out of state move. We stepped in before court, cleared the warrant in a controlled manner, and built a mitigation packet. It included months of clean interlock logs, negative alcohol tests, completion of required classes and counseling, and proof of continued employment and community service. We used that record to push back on the State’s jail demand and full revocation. The prosecution agreed to a reduced disposition, with a brief term credited as time served, closing the case that day.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 7

Allegations

After a traffic stop for an improper turn, the client was investigated for DWI. Officers had the client perform field sobriety tests and obtained a consensual blood draw. We obtained the reports and body cam video and focused on the narrow basis for the stop and how the roadside tests were administered. The client quickly installed an ignition interlock and complied with pretrial monitoring. We documented that compliance and pressed those points in negotiations. The case resolved with straight probation on a second-offense DWI, keeping the client out of jail.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 6

Allegations

Police responded to a minor collision and reported an odor of alcohol. After one finger or eye test, the driver declined further roadside tests and was arrested, with a blood draw taken under a warrant. We moved quickly, filed for discovery, and set the license hearing on time, subpoenaing the arresting officer. We flagged a discrepancy in paperwork that claimed a breath request the client never received, noted the limited field testing, and requested medical records documenting an eye condition that could affect tracking tests. Leveraging those issues and the no injuries context, we negotiated deferred adjudication.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 6

Allegations

The case began after a crash where the client clipped a stalled vehicle in rainy conditions. There was no traffic stop; officers contacted her at the scene and she acknowledged having had wine earlier. Field sobriety tests were conducted on wet pavement while she was barefoot, and a warrant blood draw was taken at a hospital after a significant delay. We obtained the reports and video, highlighted the adverse testing conditions and timing gap before the sample, and challenged the reliability of the impairment evidence. The prosecution agreed to reduce the charge.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 1

Allegations

Officers found our client asleep in a legally parked vehicle outside a residence and opened the door to investigate. The client does not recall any field sobriety testing, and a blood sample was later taken under a warrant after an alleged refusal. We challenged whether there was proof of operation, the basis for escalating the encounter, and the sufficiency of the blood warrant affidavit, and we requested the license hearing. Facing these issues, the prosecution reduced the case to a lesser offense with straight probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Collin County, County Court at Law 2

Allegations

After a traffic stop for speeding, the client was investigated for DWI. They performed field sobriety tests at the roadside, blew about 0.11 on a portable device, and later consented to a hospital blood draw. Our team obtained the videos, reports, and ALR file and closely reviewed the testing timeline and procedures. The ALR case was dismissed when the officer did not appear, which we used to push for a resolution without a conviction. The case concluded with deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the client’s record.
