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

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Denton County, County Criminal Court #4

Allegations

After leaving a restaurant, the client was stopped by police and asked to perform field sobriety tests. There was no roadside breath test. A hospital blood draw was taken under a warrant and later reported a result over .15. We obtained the discovery, examined the affidavit for the blood warrant, the administration of the roadside tests, and the chain of custody and timing of the hospital sample, and pressed the state on reliability. Following negotiations, the prosecution agreed to reduce the charge, and we secured deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Tarrant County, CCC4

Allegations

Our client faced a second DWI accusation with enhanced penalties at stake. We moved quickly to obtain discovery, analyze the state's evidence, and identify pressure points in their case. We presented mitigation and negotiated directly with the prosecution, challenging whether the proof supported the enhancement. With that leverage, the state agreed to reduce the charge. The deal was structured as straight probation, sparing the client from the more severe consequences of a repeat DWI conviction.
