DWI/DUI Case Results in Montgomery, TX

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 - 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 - Second Offense

Location

Montgomery County, County Court at Law #1

Allegations

Police stopped the client for failing to signal a lane change and claimed an odor of alcohol. The client declined a roadside breath test, did field sobriety tests, and later had a blood draw. Video showed the client polite, coherent, and performing better than the reports, and there was no evidence the empty bottles in the car were recently used. We tore into the lab records, chain of custody, and highlighted the clear disconnect between the video and the high blood result. With that leverage, we negotiated a reduction to a lesser DWI.

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.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Montgomery County, CCL5

Allegations

The client was stopped after driving straight from a turn-only lane. The officer reported an alcohol odor and conducted field tests even after being told about significant medical and neurological limitations. A breath sample at the jail nearly two hours later read well over the limit. We reviewed the video, requested Intoxilyzer maintenance and operator records, and presented medical documentation to undercut the tests and timing. Using those issues, we secured a reduction with a sentence of time served, avoiding further jail.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Montgomery County, County Court at Law #1

Allegations

Police responded to a call about intoxicated patrons and found our client in the driver’s seat of a parked car with the engine running while a rideshare was being arranged. The client declined to provide ID and refused field sobriety tests, was arrested, and a blood draw was taken under a warrant. We obtained and reviewed the bodycam and police reports, and secured proof of the rideshare request. Focusing on lack of operation and the stationary, legally parked vehicle, we challenged the basis for treating the client as a driver. The prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Montgomery County, CCL5

Allegations

The client was stopped for failing to maintain a single lane and arrested for DWI after roadside sobriety tests. They declined a roadside breath test, and a blood sample was taken later at the station after a delay. We obtained the dash and body camera footage, which showed the client calm, cooperative, and performing better than the report suggested. Leveraging those issues and the timing of the blood draw, we challenged the state’s proof. The case resolved with deferred probation, keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Montgomery County, County Court at Law #4

Allegations

After a night out, the client fell asleep in a fast-food drive-through. Officers woke him, observed signs of intoxication, found two open containers, conducted field sobriety tests, and obtained a hospital blood draw. The result later came back well over the legal limit. We gathered the videos and lab documentation, emphasized his clean record and cooperation, and pressed for a reduced outcome despite the difficult facts. The prosecution agreed to reduce the charge, and we secured credit for time served with no additional jail or probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Montgomery County, County Court at Law #4

Allegations

The stop began when an officer said the driver failed to properly yield to an emergency vehicle. Field sobriety tests were done on a wet roadside, and our client told police about medical issues and medication that affect balance. A portable breath test read under the limit, while a later breath test came back just over. We obtained and reviewed the videos, documented the weather and footing, and gathered medical records to explain the performance on the tests. After we presented those problems to the prosecutor, the case was dismissed.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Montgomery County, County Court at Law #5

Allegations

Our client was found asleep in a parked vehicle with the engine running after a long workday. He acknowledged having a few drinks, then officers ran him through field sobriety tests twice. He believed he passed, and the breath machine produced multiple failed attempts. We gathered the video and reports, challenged the reliability of the testing and the fact the encounter began with a parked car rather than observed driving, and pressed those weaknesses with the prosecutor. The state agreed to reduce the charge to a lesser offense.
