DWI/DUI Case Results in San Antonio, TX

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Comal County, None

Allegations

After a traffic stop for failing to signal, the client admitted to two small bottles of wine and had earlier taken a prescribed anti-anxiety medication. They struggled on the roadside tests, declined a breath test, and officers obtained a blood warrant. We emphasized how the medication and physical coordination issues undermined the reliability of the field tests and presented other mitigating factors. We negotiated an agreement for dismissal upon completion of a DWI education course and a victim impact panel. Once the classes were completed, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - Second Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC15

Allegations

Our client was stopped for swerving and speeding after leaving a restaurant. They were driving a manual transmission SUV with oversized tires that pulled right under throttle and left when decelerating, something the officer acknowledged after moving the vehicle. Field sobriety tests followed, but the client's dried contact lenses made the eye test difficult, and no roadside breath test was given. A blood sample was drawn. We focused on the vehicle handling issues, the compromised eye test, and the absence of a roadside breath result. The prosecution agreed to reduce the charge.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CCL4

Allegations

After a minor bump at a light in a parking area, police stopped our client and reported an odor of alcohol. The officer conducted field sobriety tests at the scene, but no roadside breath test was given. At the station, a breath sample registered 0.11. With no prior record and ongoing eye issues while taking multiple antihistamines, we explained how those factors could affect balance and eye tracking. We scrutinized the SFST instructions and the reliability of the observations, then pressed these issues in negotiations. The case resolved with deferred probation.

Charge

Intoxication Assault

Location

Comal County, DC446

Allegations

Police alleged our client caused serious injury while intoxicated after a motorcycle went down during a low-speed U-turn. We dug into the crash mechanics, obtained video and reports, and retained an accident reconstruction expert. The physical damage pattern and injuries were consistent with a sudden weight shift by the passenger, not impaired driving, and even the paperwork conflicted on the bike’s path. We also challenged the reliability of hospital blood draws after contamination issues. With causation undermined, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 8

Allegations

After a minor collision, officers investigated and arrested our client for DWI. The client admitted to having drinks, refused a breath test, and a blood draw was taken at a hospital under a warrant. We dug into the paperwork and digital evidence, noting gaps in the report and delays in the state's discovery. When the case continued to stall, we asserted the client's speedy-trial rights and set the matter for a dismissal hearing. Faced with a thin record and our motion, the prosecution dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC15

Allegations

The client was stopped after an alleged stop sign violation and arrested for DWI. They performed roadside tests, refused breath and blood, and officers later obtained a blood draw by warrant. We pulled the dash and body cam video and the report, then broke down the field tests step by step, flagging errors in how the HGN was administered and contradictions with the written narrative. We delivered that analysis to the prosecution and kept the pressure on. Faced with compromised key evidence, the state dismissed the case.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, CC5

Allegations

Police found our client asleep behind the wheel on a roadway, woke them, moved the car to a lot, and arrested after the client declined field sobriety tests. A blood draw was taken by warrant and later alleged a high alcohol level. We pulled the dash and body-cam video, scrutinized the warrant affidavit, the statutory warnings, and the handling of the sample. We pressed the gaps in proof of impairment at the scene and the paperwork issues with consent. The pressure led to a reduction to a lesser charge.

Charge

DWI 3rd

Allegations

The client was arrested for suspected DWI after being found asleep at a gas station. The police were alerted to his presence by the fire department. Blood was drawn to determine BAC. The client also had prior DWI offenses.

Charge

DWI w/Child

Allegations

The client was arrested after attempting a U-turn following a concert. When police stopped the individual, a breath test detected a low alcohol level. The client passed other field sobriety tests and believed medical issues may have influenced testing results.

Charge

DWI B/DWI 1st

Allegations

The individual was arrested for DWI with an open container after being stopped for making a wide turn. The client admitted to drinking but refused a breath test. The client had no prior offenses.

Charge

DWI 2nd

Allegations

The individual was arrested after a car accident during which another driver ran a red light. The client refused a preliminary breath test and was taken in for a blood test. Field tests were declined due to concerns about head trauma and adrenaline affecting performance.

Charge

DWI - First Offense

Location

Bexar County, County Court-at-Law 5

Allegations

After a crash at an intersection, the client called for help and was investigated for DWI. Officers said they observed intoxication, located beer in the vehicle, and conducted only limited field sobriety testing even though the airbags had deployed. A breath test was taken. We pulled the video and crash records and documented the client’s injuries and post-collision disorientation, which undercut reasonable suspicion for the tests and the arrest. Confronted with those problems, the prosecutor agreed to reduce the charge to a lower-level DWI.
