DWI/DUI Case Results in Coryell, TX

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Coryell County, 440TH DISTRICT COURT

Allegations

Police responded to a domestic dispute and detained our client in the driveway. Officers never observed any driving, and the client made no admission. He declined field sobriety testing and a blood draw after the statutory warning. The state tried to pin him as the driver using a spouse's statements about him leaving and returning after drinking. We focused the defense on the operation element, investigated the timeline, and on cross exposed inconsistencies in her account and the lack of direct evidence. The jury returned a not guilty verdict.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Coryell County, County Court at Law

Allegations

After a traffic stop for registration issues and no insurance, the client was contacted in a parking lot and questioned about drinking. The client acknowledged two beers many hours earlier. Field sobriety tests were conducted on a gravel, uneven surface, and the client reported knee problems that affected balance. A handheld breath device allegedly showed a high number, and a blood sample was later taken. We reviewed the dash and body camera footage, documented the poor testing conditions, and scrutinized the blood evidence. Using that leverage, we negotiated supervised probation so the client could keep working under manageable conditions.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Coryell County, County Court at Law

Allegations

Officers found the client asleep in a parked vehicle after drinking. Field sobriety tests were conducted, and a breath sample registered under 0.15. We reviewed the reports and discovery, stressing that there was no observed driving, the contact occurred in a parking area, and the testing conditions were less than ideal. We also presented mitigation, including counseling and licensing compliance taken during the case. After continued negotiations, the case was resolved with probation, avoiding any jail time.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Coryell County, 440th District Court

Allegations

Officers stopped our client after a citizen report and a tag issue and requested field sobriety tests. He told them he had bad knees, and a blood draw later came back at 0.103. We obtained the videos and lab records and highlighted how his physical limitations undermined the roadside testing while putting the blood number in context. We also guided him to install an ignition interlock and maintain proof of regular recovery meetings. With that mitigation and pressure on the evidence, the case resolved with straight probation.

DWI - First Offense

Location

Coryell County, County Court at Law

Allegations

Officers contacted the client while he sat in a parked truck at home after returning from a small gathering. He went inside to retrieve insurance paperwork and explained that longstanding ankle fusions made field sobriety tests impossible, yet the report marked it as a refusal. He declined a breath test and a hospital blood draw was obtained under a warrant after a blood sugar episode. We challenged the driving timeline, the purported witnesses, and the refusal notation, emphasizing his medical issues. The case was resolved with probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Coryell County, County Court at Law

Allegations

Police arrested our client for DWI after a crash where they reported striking a deer and the vehicle ended up in a ditch. A blood sample was taken, but the client had a concussion and other serious injuries and remembered little of the event, and officers failed to get prompt medical care. We pulled medical records, compared them against the arrest timeline, and challenged the reliability of the field observations and blood draw context. We also documented proactive treatment and a clean history. After sustained negotiations, the state agreed to straight probation.
