DWI/DUI Case Results in Dallas-Fort Worth, TX

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Ellis County, COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO 2

Allegations

The client was stopped during a late-night highway patrol for speeding and briefly driving in the left lane. Officers claimed signs of marijuana impairment, but the client performed field sobriety tests well, declined a breath test, and no blood draw was obtained. We obtained and reviewed the dash and body camera video, highlighting the lack of alcohol indicators, the absence of a drug recognition evaluation, and no chemical proof of intoxication. We pressed these evidentiary gaps with the prosecutor, and the DWI was dismissed.

Charge

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

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

Denton County, County Criminal Court #3

Allegations

Our client was stopped for speeding during a late-night drive and arrested for DWI after roadside tests. The officer obtained a consensual blood sample. We moved quickly on the license side by requesting an ALR hearing, then secured the dashcam, bodycam, and lab records to scrutinize the stop, test administration, and blood handling. Using that review and substantial mitigation, we negotiated a resolution. The case ended in deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the client’s record upon successful completion.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 1

The client was stopped for following too closely and arrested after admitting to drinking, completing roadside tests, and submitting to a blood draw. We obtained the police reports and lab records and closely examined the basis for the stop, the field-test documentation, and the handling of the blood sample. We presented our concerns to the DA and emphasized the client's clean record while pushing for a fair resolution. The state agreed to reduce the DWI to a lesser offense with deferred probation, keeping a DWI conviction off the client's record.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC3

Allegations

After a late-night traffic stop for an alleged failure to signal while leaving a parking lot, our client was arrested for DWI. They completed field sobriety tests after telling officers about foot and balance issues and removing their footwear, then consented to a breath test but were not told the result. We scrutinized the basis for the stop and how the tests were administered, emphasizing the medical limitations. When the state's primary officer became unavailable before a trial setting, we opposed a continuance and kept pressure on. The case resolved with probation, avoiding jail.

After a stop for tailgating, our client admitted to drinking and was arrested for DWI. Officers conducted roadside sobriety tests and drew blood. We obtained the dash and body camera footage, scrutinized the legal basis for the stop and the manner in which the tests were administered, and closely reviewed the blood draw paperwork. We raised concerns about the reliability of portions of the evidence and presented mitigation on the client’s cooperation. The state reduced the charge, and we negotiated deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Dallas County, County Criminal Court No. 10

Allegations

An officer contacted our client while the car was parked on the roadside and initiated a DWI investigation. The client reported minimal alcohol consumption and a prescription taken days earlier. Field sobriety tests were performed, no portable breath test was offered, the client refused a blood draw, and a sample was later taken under a warrant. We obtained the camera footage and full discovery, emphasizing the lack of observed driving and focusing negotiations on what the evidence actually showed. The prosecution reduced the charge, and the court credited time already served.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Denton County, CCC3

Allegations

After a traffic stop for minor speeding, the client was investigated for DWI. Officers noted shakiness and alleged slurred speech, conducted field tests, and later obtained a blood warrant after a breath refusal. We pulled the dash and body camera video and documented that the trainee officer gave inconsistent instructions, while the client had documented back and hip surgeries and a leg length discrepancy affecting balance tests. We pressed these reliability issues and presented mitigation, including employment impact letters. With a new prosecutor on the file, we negotiated deferred adjudication.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Denton County, County Criminal Court #2

Allegations

Following a minor crash that left a tire blown, officers investigated and the client was taken to a hospital where a blood sample was obtained under a warrant. The lab later reported a BAC around .18. With a prior DWI on record, the state initially pushed for a jail component. We obtained the videos and blood documentation, and compiled mitigation showing full interlock compliance, ongoing treatment, classes, and a substance use evaluation. Leveraging that record, we negotiated deferred adjudication, avoiding jail and keeping a conviction off the client’s record.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Denton County, County Criminal Court #1

Allegations

Police found our client asleep in a parked vehicle after a late night out, then conducted field sobriety tests despite the client reporting knee and hip issues. The client consented to a hospital blood draw. We requested and reviewed dashcam and bodycam, the police report, interlock logs, and the lab records, focusing on the long gap between any drinking and officer contact, the lack of observed driving, and how physical limits undermined the tests. We also advised the client to enroll in recommended classes. After sustained negotiations, prosecutors reduced the charge and the client received straight probation.
