Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Ellis County, COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO 2

Allegations

After a single vehicle collision with a parked car, our client was arrested for a first offense DWI. They reported limited drinking and significant memory gaps, so we centered our defense on the blood evidence and requested the full lab file and chain of custody records. We raised concerns about potential drug involvement indicated by the memory issues and noted the absence of any injured party. With those issues on the table and ready to litigate, we negotiated straight probation, avoiding jail time and keeping terms as favorable as possible.
