DWI/DUI Case Results in Medina, TX

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Medina County, 454th Judicial District Court

Allegations

Stopped for an inoperative headlight, the client admitted to drinking. After field sobriety tests, a breath sample registered around 0.14, and the case was filed as a felony based on prior DWIs. We obtained the videos and reports, assessed the risks of litigating the stop, and focused on mitigation. The client started DWI classes, gathered character letters, and documented consistent pretrial compliance with clean screens. Using that record, we negotiated deferred adjudication, avoiding jail and a final conviction.

Charge

DWI - Third Offense

Location

Medina County, 454TH DC

Allegations

A deputy stopped our client after claiming a backseat passenger was not wearing a seat belt. There was no crash or injury. The client admitted drinking and a breath test reportedly came back just over the limit. We dug into the legality of the stop and the breath testing procedures, and compiled a strong mitigation package showing months of alcohol monitoring, consistent AA attendance, and clean tests. Leveraging those issues and his sustained compliance, we negotiated felony probation with a structured treatment component instead of prison.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Medina County, County Court at Law

Allegations

The client was stopped for speeding and arrested after field sobriety tests. At the station, two breath samples came back at .165 and .181, and officers also obtained a blood sample. We reviewed the dashcam alongside the report, noting confusing instructions during the tests and inconsistencies in the narrative. We also challenged the reliability of the breath results given the variance between samples and raised concerns about how statutory warnings and requests were delivered. Leveraging these issues in negotiations, the prosecution agreed to reduce the charge.
