DWI/DUI Case Results in Harris, TX

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Harris County, CCL3

Allegations

After a late-night red light stop, the officer saw alcohol in the vehicle, the client admitted drinking earlier, and declined field sobriety tests. A warrant was obtained and blood was drawn at the jail about one to two hours later, returning a BAC over .12. We obtained and reviewed the dash and bodycam, scrutinized the blood draw paperwork and timing, and assembled mitigation explaining the personal crisis that day. The client completed a DWI education course and we gathered strong character letters. After hard negotiations, the state agreed to probation.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Harris County, CCL11

Allegations

After a night at a restaurant, the client crashed a vehicle, airbags deployed, and officers arrived to find him disoriented. He submitted a breath sample that registered over .15 and was charged accordingly. We moved quickly to press for full discovery and built a mitigation package with character support, then sought a diversion option. When the prosecutor declined, we used those materials and the accident context to negotiate terms. The client accepted a plea to straight probation, avoiding jail and stabilizing the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CCL12

Allegations

Police responded to a report of a vehicle swerving and made a traffic stop. The driver declined field sobriety tests, and a blood sample was later taken under a warrant after a trip to a medical facility. We obtained the video, the full blood lab records, and medical documentation showing health issues that helped explain several observations and the delay to the draw. We also addressed license issues so the client could keep working during the case. After pressing these weaknesses with the DA, we negotiated straight probation with no jail.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Harris County, 351st DC

Allegations

The client was stopped near home for an expired registration and arrested for a third DWI. They declined roadside testing and a breath sample, and officers later drew blood under a warrant hours after the stop. We obtained the dash and bodycam videos, the warrant affidavit, and the full lab file, highlighting the delayed draw, the absence of standardized field tests beyond an eye check, and the circumstances of the stop. We used those weaknesses in negotiations while preparing to litigate suppression issues. The case resolved with straight felony probation, avoiding prison time.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CCCL1

Allegations

After a traffic stop where the reason was never clearly stated, the client was arrested for a first offense DWI. He declined field sobriety and breath tests, and officers obtained a warrant for a hospital blood draw. We reviewed dash and body camera footage and the draw-room video, highlighting the client’s bleeding hand, inconsistencies in the stop, and post-arrest questioning without warnings. The lab placed BAC around 0.09, within the margin near 0.08. Using these issues, we pushed negotiations until the state reduced the charge and resolved it for credit for time served, avoiding additional jail and lengthy probation.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Harris County, 182nd DC

Allegations

Police stopped the client after a wrong way turn and arrested him for a third DWI. He completed roadside tests, declined breath, and officers later got a warrant for a blood draw taken several hours after driving that reported a high BAC. When device violations and a missed setting led to a warrant, we arranged a walk through to restore bond and get the case back on track. We pulled all videos and lab records, emphasized the delay in the draw, and corrected errors about how recent the priors were. The state agreed to probation.

The state agreed to straight probation, sparing the client jail time and allowing them to move forward under supervision.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Harris County, CC2

Allegations

Police were called after an off duty officer reported a car clipping construction barrels, and our client was arrested for a second DWI. They declined a breath test, a blood sample was taken by warrant, and it later came back high. We moved quickly to protect the license, obtained all dash and body camera footage, and dug into the blood draw paperwork and field test instructions. Early offers pushed long probation or jail. We compiled mitigation with character letters and proactive classes and kept pressing. The case closed with straight probation, no jail condition, and workable terms.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CCCL12

Allegations

The client was arrested for DWI after a traffic stop. They had been drinking earlier while taking prescribed medication and later woke up in custody with little memory of the encounter. A blood sample was taken. We obtained the state's evidence, reconstructed the contact from reports, and challenged the justification for the stop along with the handling of any field testing and blood analysis. After sustained negotiations, the prosecution agreed to reduce the case, and the matter was closed with a sentence credited as time served.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CC14

Allegations

The client was pulled over after an alleged failure to maintain a single lane and admitted to having drinks. Officers conducted roadside testing, obtained a blood warrant, and later reported a high BAC. We gathered the patrol video, body cam, and the 911 recording that directed officers to the vehicle, and scrutinized the legality of the stop and the timing of the blood draw. Given the strength of parts of the evidence, we leveraged the issues we found, the client's cooperation, and clean history in negotiations. The prosecutor agreed to reduce the charge, and the court accepted a sentence of time served.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CC10

Allegations

After leaving a bar, the client was stopped for an alleged license plate light issue. They reported having a few drinks over several hours and told the officer about mobility limitations before any roadside testing. Only an eye-tracking exercise was conducted, and the client voluntarily provided a blood sample. We obtained the dashcam, bodycam, police reports, and the complete lab packet. The blood result was 0.04, below the legal limit. Citing the low BAC and the limited roadside investigation, we pressed the state, and the case was dismissed.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Harris County, 497th DC

Allegations

After a traffic stop for an alleged signal violation, our client was arrested for DWI with two prior convictions. Field sobriety tests were conducted on a narrow roadway where balance was an issue, the client declined a breath test, and officers later obtained a blood warrant. We reviewed dash and body camera footage, scrutinized the test instructions and the blood-draw and lab procedures, and used the license hearing to lock in the officer’s account. Coupled with AA documentation and character letters, we negotiated supervised probation focused on treatment, avoiding prison time.
