DWI/DUI Case Results in Comal, TX

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Comal County, 274th DC

Allegations

The client was stopped on the way to work after a trooper claimed a minor traffic violation. Video and reports showed the officer offered shifting justifications, and the alleged signal violation was not captured. The client declined field sobriety tests, and a blood sample was later taken. With two prior DWIs elevating the case to a felony, we leveraged the stop issues and evidentiary gaps in negotiations. The state agreed to straight probation with treatment and alcohol monitoring conditions, avoiding incarceration.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Comal County, CC1

Allegations

Police responded to a minor collision and opened a DWI investigation. Despite the client’s documented balance and mobility issues, the officer conducted field sobriety tests and later obtained a blood draw that came back high. We reviewed the videos, compiled medical documentation showing the tests were unreliable for her, and confirmed any vehicle damage was covered by insurance. We also provided character support and a concrete plan for continued sobriety. With that leverage, we negotiated a reduction to a lesser charge, sparing a harsher conviction.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Comal County, CC3

Allegations

After a highway crash where a tractor trailer struck the client's vehicle and left the scene, officers found a damaged car and an injured driver. The client reported a brief loss of consciousness and hip pain, declined two balance tests, completed only the eye test, and refused breath or blood. A warrant draw later showed a BAC over .15. We reviewed the videos and highlighted the accident context and injury-related testing limits. We also guided the client into required classes and lawful driving with interlock, using that mitigation to secure straight probation.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Comal County, CC2

Allegations

After a late-night traffic stop, the client was arrested for a second DWI. Video showed the officer relocating the scene to perform field sobriety tests, then calling a supervisor and wavering about whether there was probable cause before deciding to arrest. We obtained the recordings, dissected the HGN and other testing, and drafted a motion to suppress based on the shaky probable cause and testing irregularities. Confronted with these issues and our readiness to litigate, the state reduced the case to a first-offense DWI with straight probation.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Comal County, CC2

Allegations

Police responded to a two-vehicle collision where our client was accused of rear-ending another car. Officers investigated impairment and a blood sample was taken. With a prior DWI on record, the stakes were high. We obtained the crash report and lab records, addressed interlock compliance issues, and presented mitigating facts about the client's work obligations and the passage of time since the earlier case. After persistent negotiations, the client accepted straight probation, avoiding additional jail time.
