DWI/DUI Case Results in Harris, TX

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CCCL10

Allegations

After a single-vehicle crash, officers arrested our client for DWI. They declined roadside field sobriety tests, and a later breath test at the station registered below the legal limit. We pulled the bodycam and reports, which showed no standardized testing beyond an eye check performed after a collision, a context that undermines its value. We confronted the prosecution with the below-limit result and challenged their attempt to retroactively inflate BAC through extrapolation, making clear we were ready for trial. The state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CC10

Allegations

During a traffic stop for speeding, the officer reported an odor of marijuana and saw a pipe in the vehicle. The client admitted recent use, blew 0.00 on two breath tests, and was taken to the station where field tests were done and blood was drawn. We obtained the video, reports, and lab materials and challenged the state’s ability to prove impairment while driving. We also moved the case into a first offender diversion track. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CCL12

Allegations

The client was stopped for an alleged unsafe lane change and arrested after the officer reported an odor of alcohol and conducted field sobriety tests in a parking lot. They admitted to a couple of drinks shortly before driving and later gave a station breath sample over .08. We pulled the dash and body cam and obtained breath-machine records, revealing a weak basis for the stop and steadier performance than described. The timeline also supported a rising BAC theory. Facing a suppression fight and our leverage, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Harris County, 263rd DC

Allegations

The client was stopped for suspected DWI after a traffic incident and was arrested following a blood draw reported at .145. With two prior DWIs, the case was filed as a felony and the stakes were high. While on bond, the client was accused of driving on a suspended license. We addressed the violation with a no driving affidavit and emphasized that alcohol monitoring showed no positives, preserving release. We reviewed the blood discovery, assembled mitigation, and completed the probation interview. The case resolved with straight probation.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Harris County, CC11

Allegations

After a nighttime crash at an intersection, the client was accused of a second DWI. He reported being rear‑ended, yet the officer handcuffed him immediately, moved him away from the scene, and never properly conducted standardized field tests. A blood sample was taken later under a warrant, well after the time of driving. We pulled body and dash videos, the crash report, and the warrant affidavit, and documented inconsistencies in the probable cause narrative and test administration, along with dispute over fault for the crash. We presented these defects and signaled we would litigate them, and the State dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CC5

Allegations

The client was stopped for alleged swerving and questioned about impairment. They declined roadside tests and a breath sample, and officers later obtained a warrant for a blood draw. With two prior out-of-state DWIs, there was a real risk the case could be refiled as a felony, so we moved quickly, pulled the videos and blood records, and pushed to address it while it remained in misdemeanor court. We also guided the client through bond and license requirements and opened negotiations early. The case was reduced and resolved with a time-served disposition, avoiding further jail.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CC2

Allegations

After a sudden slowdown led to a rear-end collision, officers conducted field sobriety tests. The client struggled on balance exercises due to longstanding knee issues but completed the eye test and reported having two drinks several hours earlier. The officer indicated the roadside breath test was passed, and no breath or blood draw followed the arrest. We obtained the videos and reports, documented the medical limitations, and challenged the reliability of the physical tests. With no chemical evidence and compromised field testing, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CCL9

Allegations

A late-night traffic stop for alleged speeding led to our client’s DWI arrest. The officer never explained the reason at first, had the car towed, and ran field tests at the roadside and again at the station. The client performed well, yet a breath test at the station registered only slightly above the limit after multiple attempts. We secured the dashcam and bodycam, highlighted the clean test performance, questioned the basis for the stop and citation inconsistencies, and advanced a rising BAC theory. Faced with these issues, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CC12

Allegations

Officers were dispatched to a single vehicle accident after the car’s crash alert notified 911. The client admitted to having had drinks, performed roadside tests, and later agreed to a breath test. The breath sequence began with an invalid result, followed by decreasing readings. We pulled the body cam, reports, and breath test records, then challenged the administration of the field tests and whether the state could prove intoxication at the time of driving. After we pressed those weaknesses, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, County Court 13

Allegations

A traffic stop led to our client’s DWI arrest after they admitted drinking, performed roadside tests, and gave a breath sample over the limit. We scrutinized the basis for the stop and how the field tests were instructed and scored, pointing out gaps in the officer’s paperwork. We also demanded the administrative license hearing, stopping an automatic suspension and creating leverage in talks. With an old out-of-state DWI on record, we pushed back against any enhancement and kept it as a first offense. The case resolved with reduced exposure and a sentence of time served, avoiding probation and further jail.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CC4

Allegations

After a stop for sitting through a light, our client was arrested for DWI. Dash and body cam did not confirm the officer’s claim the driver had been asleep, and the officer questioned them in custody immediately after handcuffing. The field tests showed instruction and administration problems, and the client appeared largely steady. A warrant blood draw later came back close to the legal limit. We prepared suppression and evidentiary challenges and pushed those weaknesses with the State. The charge was reduced, and the client received time served.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CC5

Allegations

A traffic stop for a lane change without signaling led to a DWI arrest. The client tried to show insurance on a phone app, performed field sobriety tests that were marked as failed, the breath test was reported as a failure, and officers obtained a blood draw. We moved fast to obtain discovery and scrutinize the legal basis for the stop, the instructions and scoring of the tests, and the handling of breath and blood evidence. We pressed these issues with the prosecutor and prepared suppression litigation. The state dismissed the case.
