DWI/DUI Case Results in Montgomery, TX

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Montgomery County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

The client was stopped for a front-plate issue while driving home. Officers spotted open containers, conducted field sobriety tests, and the client declined a breath test but consented to blood. We pulled the dash and body cam, compared them against the reports, and pressed on the legality of the stop, the instructions and conditions of the tests, and the handling of the blood sample. We also documented the client's proactive classes. Using that leverage, we negotiated a reduction to a lesser offense with a sentence of time served.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Montgomery County, CCL5

Allegations

Police were called after a resident reported an ATV near a retention area late at night. The client was stuck in mud when officers arrived, and after contact he declined field sobriety tests. He was transported and a blood sample was taken under a warrant. We gathered the bodycam, reports, and warrant materials, and highlighted that this was an off‑road ATV situation with no crash or injuries. After sustained negotiations with the prosecutor, we secured straight probation, keeping the client out of jail.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Montgomery County, CCL1

Allegations

After a late-night traffic stop for an alleged failure to signal, which later shifted to an illegal lane change, our client was arrested. They declined field sobriety tests and a breath test, and a warrant blood draw later reported a result over the legal limit. We secured and reviewed dash and body cam video showing a respectful demeanor, no obvious impairment, and an officer who threatened additional charges and pressured a passenger. We attacked probable cause for the arrest, the shifting basis for the stop, and the delay before the blood draw. Faced with these issues, the state agreed to reduce the charge and resolve it with time served, avoiding probation and additional jail.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Montgomery County, CCL4

Allegations

After a low-speed collision, police responded and began a DWI investigation. Officers documented mixed observations, with only faint or no odor of alcohol noted. The client completed roadside tests in poor conditions and later had blood drawn after a warrant was issued. We reviewed bodycam, 911 audio, and lab records, emphasizing problems with the field tests, the inadmissible portable breath reading, and the timing of consumption supporting a rising BAC. We leveraged these weaknesses to secure a reduction with time served.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Montgomery County, CCL5

Allegations

Our client was stopped after a citizen report of erratic driving. The officer found an open container, no roadside tests were conducted, and a blood draw was taken later under a warrant. We pulled the 911 audio, dash and body cam video, and the warrant packet, then scrutinized whether the stop was independently supported and whether the delayed blood sample was properly handled. We pressed the state on those issues and the chain of custody. The state agreed to reduce the charge, and the court imposed a sentence of time served.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Montgomery County, CCL5

Allegations

Police responded to reports of gunfire in a secluded area and found our client seated in a parked vehicle beyond a barricade. The car was not running, and he cooperated, acknowledging a firearm was inside. He declined field sobriety tests, and a blood sample was obtained later under a warrant after a delay. With an old out-of-state DUI, prosecutors filed a second-offense DWI. We challenged proof of operation and the timing of the blood draw, and the State reduced the DWI, resolving the case with time served.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Montgomery County, CCL4

Allegations

Police responded to a single-vehicle crash with the client’s car totaled and no other vehicles involved. The client reported no significant injuries, declined EMS transport, performed field sobriety tests, and was then taken to a hospital for a consensual blood draw. Officers noted an open container, and the client acknowledged drinking. We obtained the reports and video, challenged how the tests were conducted after a collision, and closely reviewed the consent advisement and blood handling. We leveraged those concerns in negotiations. The state reduced the charge and accepted a plea with credit for time already served.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Montgomery County, County Court at Law #4

Allegations

The client was stopped after slowing at an intersection and making a wide right turn, then arrested for DWI. He admitted to a single drink at a bar, performed field tests, and blew a high score on a roadside device seconds after removing oral tobacco. We obtained the videos and lab records, challenged the thin basis for the stop, and highlighted reliability issues with the breath test while scrutinizing the blood draw. Diversion was denied due to the reported BAC, so we pressed negotiations and secured deferred probation, avoiding a conviction and setting the case up for dismissal upon completion.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Montgomery County, County Court at Law #4

Allegations

After leaving a residence following an argument, the client had drinks and was later stopped for rolling past the stop line, with an officer also claiming a curb strike. The client provided two breath samples around .26. We obtained patrol videos, noted the arresting officer was being coached during field tests, and raised concerns about missing media from the client’s dashcam and the vehicle inventory. Leveraging these credibility and procedure issues, we pressed negotiations and the charge was reduced, resulting in straight probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Montgomery County, County Court at Law #4

Allegations

Officers responded to a minor crash after another driver braked abruptly, and the client made light contact while passing. At the scene the client admitted to one drink. They refused a voluntary blood draw, and hours later a warrant was obtained, with the sample testing at 0.11. We dissected the bodycam, how the roadside tests were given, and the late timing of the draw compared to the time of driving. We also flagged paperwork discrepancies and emphasized the client’s clean record. With that leverage we negotiated deferred probation, keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Montgomery County, County Court at Law #1

Allegations

After a late-night single-vehicle crash, officers noted signs of intoxication. The client declined field sobriety tests and breath testing, was arrested, and a warrant blood draw later reported a very high BAC. We obtained the dash and bodycam, the warrant affidavit, and witness statements, including the other driver the client said was involved, and highlighted inconsistencies in the narrative and issues with how the warrant was obtained. We pressed these problems in negotiations, making clear we were ready to litigate. The case was reduced and the client received credit for time served.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Montgomery County, County Court at Law #1

Allegations

Officers found our client asleep in a vehicle parked off the roadway and began a welfare check. The contact shifted to a DWI investigation, field sobriety tests were given, and the client was arrested. A blood draw followed. We obtained the videos, reports, and lab documentation, scrutinizing how the tests were administered and whether escalation of the encounter was justified. Using those issues in negotiations, we secured deferred probation on this first offense, keeping a conviction off the record.
