DWI/DUI Case Results in Harris, TX

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CC1

Allegations

Police found our client asleep in a fast food drive-thru after the vehicle rolled over a curb and got stuck. Officers immediately handcuffed the client without asking about alcohol use and performed no field sobriety tests at the scene. Testing was attempted later at the jail, and there were no breath or blood results. We dissected the police reports and challenged the lack of on-scene investigation and probable cause for the arrest. We pressed these issues with the prosecutor and prepared to argue suppression. The state dismissed the case.
