DWI/DUI Case Results in Houston, TX

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Brazoria County, 461st District Court

Allegations

Responders found the client outside a parked vehicle after a long work shift, and an ambulance had been called by a bystander. Officers arrived later, noted an odor of alcohol, conducted roadside tests, then transported for a blood draw while still labeling the case as a refusal. We emphasized the lack of observed driving, the time gap before police contact, and inconsistencies around the alleged refusal. After pressing these issues and negotiating terms focused on rehabilitation, the prosecution agreed to probation with conditions the client could realistically complete.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, Court 13

Allegations

After a late night single vehicle crash, officers investigated for DWI and ran eye and walk tests. No breath or blood was taken at the scene, and a breath test was done at the station hours later. The reported numbers were only just over the legal limit. We obtained the police reports, bodycam and dash video, and the breath testing records and maintenance logs, mapped the timeline, and scrutinized how the tests were administered. We challenged the reliability of a delayed, marginal breath result and raised problems with the probable cause narrative. Confronted with those weaknesses and our intent to litigate, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CCCL1

Allegations

After a traffic stop for speeding, the client was arrested for DWI. They admitted to drinking, completed the eye test several times, and were given only a one-leg stand, while the walk-and-turn was never administered. The passenger performed a quick eye test and was allowed to drive the car away. We obtained the bodycam, dashcam, and radio traffic, highlighting the officer's statements and the incomplete field testing. We also scrutinized the blood-draw warrant and lab paperwork. Using those weaknesses, we negotiated a reduction with credit for time served.

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

Montgomery County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

Stopped late at night for alleged speeding, our client was arrested for DWI even though she reported driving a small car about 50 mph. The officer said he smelled alcohol; she acknowledged two glasses of wine hours earlier and says she completed the field sobriety tests without issues. At the station multiple breath attempts failed to register, then a blood draw was taken, and an open container allegation appeared with no documentation. We pulled the dash and body cameras, challenged the basis for the stop, the FST instructions, and the lack of proof on the container and consent. Confronted with those weaknesses, the state agreed to reduce the charges.

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

Brazoria County, 300th District Court

Allegations

After a 911 report of erratic driving during a road dispute, our client was stopped at night and asked to perform field sobriety tests. A warrant was obtained for blood, which later reported about 0.16. We pushed for complete discovery, forced production of missing dash and body cam footage, and scrutinized the stop, the instructions given, and how the tests were conducted in darkness. We also obtained the blood records and challenged procedure where appropriate. Leveraging these issues, we negotiated straight probation, keeping the client out of prison.

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.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Harris County, CCL4

Allegations

Police stopped our client for driving the wrong way on a one-way street and made an arrest for a second DWI. The client declined field sobriety tests, and officers later obtained a blood sample. We dug into the timeline of the stop and the blood draw, raising a rising BAC concern and scrutinizing the lab records. We pressed those issues in negotiations while preparing to litigate if needed. The state agreed to straight probation, sparing the client jail time and allowing them to move forward under supervision.
