DWI/DUI Case Results in Harris, TX

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Harris County, CC14

Allegations

Following a rear-end crash, officers contacted the client, who stated they had two drinks after work. The client declined a breath test, and a blood sample was later obtained under a warrant after several hours. We scrutinized the reports and warrant paperwork, focusing on the delay before the draw and the limited admissions to challenge the strength of the intoxication evidence. Using those weaknesses in discussions with the prosecution, we secured a probation outcome that kept the client in the community and avoided additional jail time.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CC15

Allegations

Our client was involved in a single vehicle crash and was taken to a hospital by EMS, where blood was drawn after he was sedated. There were no roadside sobriety tests, and officers arrived after the incident, relying on statements to claim he drove. We obtained the full discovery, reviewed body and dash cameras, plus EMS and hospital records, and scrutinized the warrant and procedures used for the blood draw. We also highlighted the delay in filing and gaps in proof. Leveraging those issues, we negotiated a reduction and a plea with credit for time served, avoiding further jail.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CC6

Allegations

The client was stopped for speeding and arrested on suspicion of DWI after the roadside testing was cut short and the officer moved straight to detention. No blood draw was taken, only a breath test at the jail, and different numbers were later cited. We obtained and reviewed the dash and body camera video, the jail testing footage, and the device maintenance records. Using gaps in the field investigation and the BAC reporting discrepancy, we pressed the State. The matter resolved with straight probation on a first offense.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CC8

Allegations

Our client was contacted near a bar after their vehicle was found nearby. Video showed them walking steadily across the roadway in high heels, then performing field tests after removing the shoes, a sequence we argued unfairly affected balance. Breath testing produced conflicting results, with one sample below the enhanced threshold. We highlighted the missing keys and gaps in the timeline to question proof of operation and impairment. With that leverage, the state agreed to reduce the charge and accept a plea to time served, avoiding probation and further jail.

Charge

DWI with Child Passenger

Location

Harris County, 232nd DC

Allegations

Police contacted our client at a drive-thru after a payment mix-up, not a traffic stop. An off-duty officer claimed intoxication, conducted field sobriety tests, and later obtained a warrant for a blood draw, with a young child in the vehicle. We pulled every video angle, the offense report, the warrant, and the lab materials. Our review flagged problems with how the roadside tests were instructed and highlighted the thin basis for the initial encounter. We put those issues in front of the prosecutor and made clear we were ready to fight. The felony was reduced to a misdemeanor with deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, County Court 7

Allegations

Stopped for operating an ATV on a neighborhood street, the client was questioned after an empty beer can was seen on the seat. Field sobriety tests were conducted and a blood sample was taken at the jail. We obtained the reports and video, scrutinized the officer’s instructions and testing conditions, and evaluated the lab work. The footage showed clear balance and speech issues, and the blood test came back very high. We shifted to mitigation, emphasized the client’s clean record and cooperation, and negotiated straight probation, avoiding any jail time.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CC7

Allegations

After a single vehicle crash, EMS took our client to a hospital where police later obtained a blood sample under a warrant. Weeks afterward a DWI case was filed. We obtained the discovery and closely compared the hospital toxicology with the law enforcement blood kit results and lab paperwork, which showed materially different BAC numbers. We challenged the reliability of the blood evidence and pressed the issue with the prosecutor. Facing those problems, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CCL13

Allegations

Stopped for alleged speeding, the client was contacted only after parking near home. Bodycam showed the officer noticed a firearm, then rushed into field sobriety tests and failed to give complete instructions on the walk-and-turn, while the client performed well on the one-leg stand. A warrant blood draw occurred hours later and was over the limit, but there was no admission of a drinking timeline, creating a rising BAC issue. We challenged probable cause, the flawed FST administration, and the link between the late blood result and driving. After we presented video excerpts and our analysis, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, Criminal Court at Law No. 7

Allegations

Officers found our client stopped in a drive-thru and conducted field sobriety testing, including the one-leg stand, then obtained a consensual blood draw. The result later came back over the legal limit. We obtained the body and dash camera video and the lab records, scrutinized procedures, and emphasized key mitigation, a first arrest, no crash, and full cooperation. After sustained negotiations, the state agreed to reduce the charge. The client accepted the reduced offense with a sentence of time served, avoiding probation and any additional jail.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CC1

Allegations

The client was stopped after driving the wrong way on a frontage road and arrested for DWI. They attempted field sobriety tests despite a recent ankle injury and pain medication, then consented to a breath test reportedly over the limit. We obtained the video and discovery and identified that key breath test documentation could not be produced. Using the evidentiary gaps and the injury affecting the tests, we pressed negotiations and secured a reduction to a lesser offense with a time served resolution.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CC12

Allegations

Police responded to a single-vehicle crash and arrested our client for DWI. At the station, officers conducted field sobriety tests in a room and only later obtained a breath sample, well after the driving. We reviewed the video and reports, which showed a steady gait and clean balance tests, with only the pen test noted. We challenged probable cause for the arrest, the reliability of in-custody testing, and whether a delayed breath result proved intoxication at the time of driving. Ready to try the case and suppress key evidence, we secured a dismissal.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CC8

Allegations

After a single-vehicle crash with airbag deployment, our client was arrested for DWI and later noted head bumps and significant memory gaps. Officers obtained a blood sample by consent documented on DIC paperwork. We gathered the crash report, jail records, and the blood documentation, then scrutinized the timeline, the client's condition, and whether consent was truly voluntary. We pressed the state on gaps in their proof and prepared for a contested hearing and trial. Faced with these issues, the prosecution dismissed the case.
