DWI/DUI Case Results in San Antonio, TX

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law, 2

Allegations

After being cut off by another driver and striking a guardrail, our client was investigated for DWI. They admitted to drinking and attempted field sobriety tests, later telling the officer they had not passed. At the jail, a breath test was recorded and the case was filed as a high BAC charge, even though the client recalled lower readings. We scrutinized the stop, the administration of the tests, and the leap to an over .15 allegation. Using those weaknesses, we negotiated with the prosecutor and secured a reduction of the charge.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Kendall County, 498TH District Court

Allegations

Police responded to a reported crash noise and found our client parked with a flat tire and a cracked windshield. After field tests, an officer claimed the eye test showed signs of intoxication, despite conflicting lighting and instructions captured on video. The client consented to a blood draw taken hours later, and we uncovered problems with the timeline and blood kit documentation. We compiled bodycam footage, witness statements, and expert review to challenge reliability and leverage negotiations. The state agreed to deferred probation, keeping a conviction off the client’s record.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Guadalupe County, CC2

Allegations

A rear-end collision at a stop light, caused by another driver striking our client from behind, led to a DWI arrest after roadside tests. The client declined a breath test, and a blood sample was taken. We dissected the accident report and the officers’ observations, highlighting that no one was injured. We also gathered character reference letters and documentation that the insurance claim from the crash was fully resolved. Leveraging this context in negotiations, we secured a reduction of the charge.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Comal County, County Court at Law 3

Allegations

Our client was stopped late at night after an officer claimed erratic driving and was arrested for a first offense DWI with a breath test reported over .15. The client had just finished drinking, performed roadside tests in platform shoes, and also reported poor vision. We obtained the videos and reports, challenged the vague basis for the stop, dissected the instructions and scoring on the field tests, and scrutinized the timing and procedures behind the breath test. The pressure worked, and the prosecution reduced the charge.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Kendall County, 451st District Court

Allegations

Deputies were called to a truck stop after a 911 report that a recently repaired rig had just been moved by an intoxicated driver. Officers found our client near a food vendor, conducted roadside tests in a windy, uneven area, and later obtained breath samples showing an elevated result. We secured dispatch audio, video, and shop statements to challenge the timeline and whether the movement met the elements of operating on a public roadway. We also documented balance issues that undermined the field tests and noted procedural concerns about repeated breath attempts. After sustained negotiations, the state agreed to deferred probation with classes and compliance conditions, not jail. The client avoided a harsher sentence and can earn a favorable resolution by completing the program.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 2

Allegations

The client was arrested for a first-offense DWI after roadside sobriety tests. At the station they gave a breath sample under .15, there was no crash, and they remained respectful and cooperative. Our team obtained the video and police report and scrutinized how the tests were administered and documented. We strengthened the defense with mitigation, gathering character letters and documentation of counseling and alcohol-education steps. Leveraging the lower breath result and our mitigation package, we pressed for a non-DWI outcome. The charge was reduced and the client received deferred probation.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Comal County, County Court

Allegations

The client was stopped for expired registration. The officer claimed to smell alcohol and marijuana, noted an open container, and had the client perform repeated field sobriety tests while a trainee observed. The client had vomited earlier from food, reported longstanding balance issues from past concussions, refused breath testing, and a blood draw followed. We scrutinized the stop and the manner the tests were administered, and questioned the reliability of any impairment indicators under those conditions. After we pressed these problems with the prosecution and prepared to litigate, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Caldwell County, County Court at Law

Allegations

After a late-night traffic stop for following too closely, the client was investigated for DWI. Dashcam video captured the driving and field sobriety tests that the officer said showed clues of impairment, and a later blood draw returned a result over the legal limit. We obtained and reviewed the video and lab materials, scrutinized the timing of the blood test, and prepared to challenge aspects of the stop and testing. At the same time, the client completed alcohol education and a victim-impact panel. Using those efforts as leverage, we negotiated deferred probation, keeping a conviction off the record.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Caldwell County, County Court at Law

Allegations

After a late night traffic stop, the client was arrested for DWI when the officer observed clear signs of intoxication. The client refused breath and blood testing, and a warrant was obtained for a blood draw. We obtained the dash and body camera footage and the lab records, which showed unsafe driving and a blood alcohol level well above the legal limit. Recognizing the risk at trial, we focused on mitigation, submitting proof of early alcohol classes and a strong character letter. We negotiated a non-jail outcome, and the case resolved with straight probation.

Charge

DWI (BAC Over .15)

Location

Bexar County, CC11

Allegations

After a minor collision, the client pulled into a lot where a heated exchange followed. When officers arrived, they moved straight to an arrest for DWI. The client declined roadside tests and later provided a breath sample reported over .15. We obtained the videos and records, challenged the rush to arrest and the reliability of the breath procedure, and documented the circumstances of the collision. We addressed restitution for the other driver and pressed for a fair resolution. The prosecution agreed to reduce the case to a non-DWI charge.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC9

Allegations

Stopped soon after leaving a parking area, the client was arrested for a second DWI. She declined roadside tests, a warrant issued, and a blood draw later showed an elevated BAC. We reviewed the video, questioned the basis for the stop and the blood protocol, and assembled mitigation, including treatment steps and strong character letters. Emphasizing that the prior DWI was long ago and showing current compliance, we pressed negotiations. The prosecution agreed to reduce the case to a lesser misdemeanor with probation, avoiding second-offense penalties.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC 11

Allegations

Police stopped our client for alleged erratic driving and arrested them for DWI. They admitted to drinking, attempted roadside tests despite an old Achilles injury and knee issues, and later gave a breath sample over .15. We dug into the videos and reports, highlighting how those medical limitations affected balance and pressing the state on missing roadside body-cam. The client completed alcohol education up front. Using that leverage, we negotiated a reduction to a lower charge with deferred probation.
