Criminal Defense Case Results in Gillespie, TX

Charge

Driving While License Invalid (With Prior)

Location

Gillespie County, County Court at Law

Allegations

A routine traffic stop led to a DWLI with prior charge when records showed our client’s license as canceled and an interlock requirement lingering from an old case. The client had finished all obligations years earlier, but the discharge and interlock removal were never properly reflected in state licensing records. We obtained the court orders, coordinated with the agency to restore his license to eligible status, and reviewed the bodycam and reports. We presented the corrected documentation to the prosecutor. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Gillespie County, CCL

Allegations

Our client was stopped after a 911 caller reported unsafe driving, and an officer conducted roadside tests. The client performed well on the walk-and-turn, though the one-leg stand was less steady. At the station, a breath test registered about 0.11. We obtained the 911 audio and video, underscoring the client’s cooperative demeanor and moments of solid balance. We also had the client complete a victim impact panel and committed to recommended education. After targeted negotiations, the case resolved with deferred probation, keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Gillespie County, CCL

Allegations

After a dispute over a bar tab, staff called police. The client had already pulled over when officers arrived, performed field sobriety tests, and later provided a breath sample under .15. We obtained the reports and any video, scrutinized how the tests were given, and emphasized her clean history and cooperation. We also lined up alcohol education and an evaluation to reduce conditions and pursue an interlock waiver. The prosecution agreed to deferred probation, preserving the chance to keep a conviction off her record.

Charge

Public Intoxication

Location

Gillespie County, Fredericksburg Municipal Court

Allegations

The client was arrested after a night out when officers responded to reports of an intoxicated person. The report alleged slurred speech, unsteady balance, and uncertainty about how to get home. We gathered the police materials, parsed the elements of the offense, and opened early talks with the prosecutor. We presented mitigation, including completion of an alcohol awareness course and a clean record, and arranged for documents to be signed remotely so no appearance was needed. The state agreed to a short deferred probation with minimal conditions, a reduced financial hit, and acceptance of the completed class.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Gillespie County, CCL

Allegations

Stopped for speeding, our client admitted to having drinks and was arrested without field sobriety tests. Officers later obtained a warrant for a blood draw. We dug into the basis for the stop and the warrant process, highlighting the absence of FSTs and the client’s clean history. At the same time, we built a mitigation packet with a substance use evaluation, completed classes, and strong character letters to show accountability. After sustained negotiations, the state agreed to deferred probation, keeping a conviction off the record.
