DWI/DUI Case Results in Fort Bend, TX

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Fort Bend County, CCL-5

Allegations

The client was stopped after a traffic maneuver near a nightlife area, and officers reported signs of intoxication before conducting field sobriety tests. At the station the client provided two breath samples, both below the legal limit, with the second slightly higher than the first. An administrative form was also marked as a refusal, which was inconsistent with the breath results and led to unnecessary bond conditions. We moved quickly, pulled the probable cause paperwork and breath test record, requested video, and engaged prosecutors before formal filing. After our presentation, the state declined to proceed and the case was dismissed. All bond requirements were lifted.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Fort Bend County, County Court at Law 3

Allegations

Officers found the client parked and slumped over the wheel after they had pulled over feeling unwell. The client reported taking a legal supplement earlier, and no alcohol was alleged. A consensual blood draw later reported amphetamine and methamphetamine, which the client denied using. We scrutinized the toxicology and highlighted conflicting accounts about where the vehicle was found and whether operation could be proven. After sustained negotiations focusing on these proof gaps, the case resolved with probation instead of jail.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Fort Bend County, County Court at Law 5

Allegations

Police responded after the client's car hit a curb and was disabled. The client had consumed several drinks. Officers conducted field sobriety tests and obtained a blood sample, and the case sat for years before an old warrant led to a new arrest. We pulled the aging file, requested the lab records and reports, and pressed the state on evidentiary reliability and whether they could still prove the elements. Faced with those issues and our readiness to litigate, the prosecution dismissed the case.
