DWI/DUI Case Results in Houston, TX

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Harris County, 180th DC

Allegations

After a minor fender bender near a restaurant, police arrived and arrested our client for a third DWI. No roadside sobriety tests were recorded before the arrest, and the client declined breath testing, with a later blood draw at the station. We gathered body and dash camera footage, dissected how the field tests were administered, and combed through the blood draw paperwork and lab records for weaknesses. Using those issues and the non-injury nature of the incident, we pressed the prosecution. The charge was reduced and the client received straight probation.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Galveston County, CC2

Allegations

The case began with a crash where witnesses reported erratic driving. Officers noted slurred speech and found an open container, and a hospital blood draw was taken. With a prior DWI on record, it was filed as a second offense. We obtained dash and body cam footage, secured blood draw paperwork and hospital records, and probed consent and head injury issues from the collision. Even after a high BAC result, we applied pressure using these weaknesses and mitigation. The State reduced the charge to a first offense and resolved it for time served.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Harris County, CC14

Allegations

After a minor collision in heavy traffic, officers responded and, after a passenger from the other vehicle raised intoxication, shifted into a DWI investigation. The client performed field tests and provided a breath sample registering over .15. We analyzed the dash and body cam videos, the breath-testing records, and the timeline of the call that brought police to the scene. The footage showed officers did not initially treat it as a DWI until prompted, which we used to attack the enhancement. Facing those issues, prosecutors reduced the charge and agreed to a time served outcome.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CC4

Allegations

The client was stopped moments after leaving a bar when an officer said the driver nearly hit his unit during a left turn. Two brand-new officers, under a supervisor’s eye, ran an extended battery of field sobriety tests and arrested the client, who later blew about 0.14 at the station. We pulled bodycam, dashcam, and reports, and challenged the stop and the manner the tests were performed by the trainees. Using those weaknesses at negotiation, we secured a reduced charge with a sentence of time served.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Harris County, CC3

Allegations

Stopped moments after leaving a venue, our client was arrested for DWI. He gave a breath sample, then officers drew blood at the jail despite him not consenting. When the lab later reported a borderline 0.08, prosecutors floated a combined-intoxication theory even though no drug recognition exam was done. We pressed for the dash and body camera video and the full lab file, dissected the basis for the stop, and challenged the reliability and handling of the blood and toxicology. Faced with a weak stop, a rising BAC timeline, and shaky evidence, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Harris County, CCL5

Allegations

After a traffic stop for suspected impairment, the client performed roadside tests and later provided a breath sample over 0.15. We obtained the video and breath-test records, analyzed how the field tests were administered, and flagged reliability issues. When pretrial monitoring showed an alcohol reading tied to cold medicine and a missed retest, we documented the explanation and pushed to replace the ankle monitor with an ignition interlock. Leveraging those points and mitigation, we negotiated a reduction with credit for time served.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Fort Bend County, CC5

Allegations

After a night out, the client pulled over near a roadside barrier when they felt sick. Officers arrived after a third party reported a major crash, then claimed an accident and later obtained a blood draw by warrant. The client recovered the car from impound with no damage and reported an open container in the center console. We gathered bodycam, the client’s photos from the tow lot, and the lab paperwork, challenged the accident story, and scrutinized the blood testing while presenting mitigation. The case resolved as deferred adjudication, keeping a conviction off the record upon successful completion.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Montgomery County, County Court at Law #4

Allegations

After a late‑night neighborhood collision, officers arrested our client for DWI. Despite the crash and a history of spine surgeries, balance issues, and head pain later diagnosed as a concussion, the officer ran field sobriety tests and obtained only a single breath sample at the station, with the second attempt unreadable and no blood draw taken. We secured bodycam, a dashcam clip from the other vehicle, and comprehensive medical records. We challenged the reliability of the testing and the weight of the post‑crash observations. Leveraging those issues, we negotiated a reduced charge with a sentence of time served.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Harris County, CCL5

Allegations

The case began after a traffic incident that led to a stop and arrest for a second DWI. Reports cited bloodshot eyes and balance issues, but the bodycam showed mostly subjective observations, and the timeline of field testing was unclear. We obtained and dissected the videos and paperwork, flagged those evidentiary gaps, and kept pressure on the state. At the same time, we guided the client through strict bond conditions, alcohol monitoring, and clean tests while addressing license compliance. Leveraging both the issues and the client’s progress, we negotiated straight probation.

Charge

Intoxication Assault

Location

Harris County, 482nd DC

Allegations

After a night out, the client was involved in a roadside crash that injured another person and was charged with intoxication assault. They were treated for injuries and a hospital blood draw later reported a result around 0.13. Our team obtained and reviewed extensive dashcam and bodycam footage, crash documentation, and medical records to reconstruct the event. We compiled a strong mitigation package with AA attendance logs, character letters, employment proof, and clean bond compliance. After sustained negotiations and punishment-hearing prep, the court granted probation.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Harris County, CC7

Allegations

Stopped for speeding on a toll road, the client performed roadside tests and was arrested after officers reported signs of intoxication. A breath test at the jail read well over .15, and dash/body-cam captured the stop, the field exercises, and statements. We obtained and reviewed all video and testing records, pressed on how the stop unfolded and how the tests were administered, and assembled strong mitigation, including documented treatment efforts. Leveraging those issues and mitigation, we negotiated a reduction and a disposition for credit for time already served.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Fort Bend County, County Court at Law 5

Allegations

Stopped for a minor plate light issue, our client admitted to one drink and agreed to field sobriety tests. Despite complying, the officer arrested and later claimed slurred speech, belligerence, and an odor of alcohol. A blood draw was taken at a hospital. At trial, we attacked the credibility of the observations, pointing out how the reports and testimony did not match our client's cooperative behavior, and challenged the relevance of the blood evidence to actual impairment. The court found the state had not met its burden and returned a not guilty verdict.
