DWI/DUI Case Results in Rockwall, TX

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Rockwall County, County Court at Law 1

Allegations

Police responded to a report of erratic driving and stopped our client for alleged swerving. An open container was noted, he said he was exhausted, performed roadside tests, and later provided a blood sample. We obtained the reports and video, scrutinized the basis for the stop and how the field tests were conducted, and assembled medical records related to a liver condition that could affect alcohol readings. Ready to litigate the blood issues, we pressed the state for a noncustodial resolution. The matter closed with straight probation, classes, community service, and an ignition interlock.

Charge

DWI With Child Passenger

Location

Rockwall County, 439th District Court

Allegations

The client was accused of driving while intoxicated with a child passenger after officers made contact while he was in a parked car in a private lot, with open containers inside. He reported that he had pulled over to rest, the seat was reclined, and he had just picked up food. We investigated the timeline and emphasized that the encounter occurred while the vehicle was stationary, with no reliable proof of actual operation with a minor aboard at that time. We pressed these evidentiary gaps with the prosecution and prepared to litigate. The state dismissed the case.
